Mind supposedly Arriva Yorkshire have already withdrawn one of them.

Yeah these ones that are coming are 63 plates, and was brand new to Arriva Selby for the Selby locals, so for most of their life, I imagine they've been looked after Castleford/Selby engineering staff.

There is also 3050 and 3051 still in Yorkshire, whether these make it up or not is another question.

Yes Arriva have withdrawn Solo SR 408, and that is being used to keep the rest going, think engine failure caused it to be withdrawn or some sort of accident.

The Yorkshire Tiger batch 406-410 are in bad shape.

Although any ex Tiger stuff is in bad shape, the Evolutions that Selby got, Selby drivers told me, they turned up in a right old mess to Selby
