Certainly one of their immediate sisters (Y293PDN) has long since retired to Holy Island and provides the Car Park to Castle shuttle. A marked contrast in fortunes.
2503/2504/2505 are only 13 years old.
Not sure how long the life of a Solo is but it will be dependent on operator, how many miles it's done, is it okay mechanically and when an operator decides to get shot of them.
Scarlet Band are still running T469BCN which was new to Go North East and still seems to be on the road alot of the time.
