What happened to all these Solos they supposedly had, only saw V69GEH once since they got it from SB Travel, also didn't they get two Solos from Blackpool Transport? as I've only seen one of them on the road. Can only assume one of their Solos must be off at the moment.

Also I think V499EWV has left the fleet.

V499EWW (M21) has indeed left, V69GEH also gone. One of the ex Blackpool Solos is still undergoing prep for service, the other is usually on Asda

RE: The Eden of West Auckland - Jimmi - 18 Jul 2017

Cobblers Hall Roundabout in Newton Aycliffe (Woodham) is currently closed for resurfacing works between 7am and 7pm between July 17th and July 21st, as a result Arriva North East's Sapphire service 7 is unable to serve Woodham and is diverting Burn Lane, Middridge Road between Burnhill Way and Home Farm. Durham County Council is providing a shuttle service for Woodham which is being operated by The Eden and connects to/from Arriva service 7 at the Burnhill Way Roundabout bus stop. Solo S555 FJM was operating this service today.
