(09 Aug 2016, 9:15 am)jaimzm Think the fleet is still the same apart from solo MX07JOJ been sold and all the Enviros at dales and district but one is up for sale and they got 1 new solo Sr so nothing has changed really apart from one solo gone and new one as arrivedThink a few other Solo's may have left the fleet but I am uncertain which one's. Dales & District have the three E200's shown on the NEB fleet list plus YX14RZD has returned to Dales & District from Compass Royston following the end of the hospital contracted service. I'm struggling to keep up with the Dales & District fleet as I normally only see what they have on the Darlington services and not many other people photograph the Dales & District fleet and in most cases it's only what they have in Darlington, also they seem to have bought a few Solo's recently only to then get rid, the silver 60 reg example they had didn't stick around for long, they also acquired ex Webberbus Solo YJ59GGE but haven't heard much about that recently but it was suggested on here that it was for sale, then there is all the services that have been lost and cut since the fleet list was last done.
