- WX61FXO (which we had on demonstration at Darlington previously!),
- WX61HSL (which was used at Go North East)
- WX13GHN, a newer one
I am told these should be allocated to service 21 Darlington - Peterlee, which would be an upgrade on the Solos currently used on there. They should take up fleet numbers 4812-14
Wow, was not expecting that, they will be so much nicer than the Solos currently allocated on there, I rode one of the examples we already have once on a Sunday between Peterlee and Aycliffe and they seemed to handle the route pretty well even on hills.
