Unless they've been delayed and aren't out yet, of course. All five entered service this morning. This has allowed loanee Optare Solo SR 9104 to transfer to Riverside. I understand it will see allocation to the Byker ASDA contract from tomorrow, in place of MPD 563. RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - March 2016 - G-CPTN - 23 Mar 2016 I saw one of the new 16-reg Hexham Solos about 09:30 in Acomb today running the 682 towards Hexham. It looked very smart in the new Tynedale links livery. Looking at the timetable (09:07) it was probably running late (or my time was way out).
