It looks like it has some accident damage to the rear.
Some operators would buy a replacement panel, some may bodge it with filler - the bluebird was 'repaired' with what look like half a roll of gaffer tape.
It was spouting out some horrible fumes/smells too.

It goes a bit like this, Brummmmmm Brummmmmm - Crunch into a Pot Hole - Brummmmmm Brummmmmm - Crunch into a Pot Hole - Brummmmmm Brummmmmm approximately every 10 to 15 Seconds.

Regarding the damaged rear, that's YX09EUD rather than the new one they gained earlier this year.

Haven't seen enough of the workings to identify any trends - apart from the 79, which seemingly is worked by a Cadet again (or it has, everytime I have seen it).

As they only operate a couple of services, do they still have all of the Cadets?

Has anyone sampled the Solo with blue seating, seat belts and lack of headrests?
Keep forgetting to note reg, but if the seat backs went up a few more inches, they would hit the spot perfectly.
I saw it on the 79A last night, which was carrying a load of 4 on the 2136 from Houghton. Not bad, considering a 4 will have been 20mins ahead of it.
