RE: Weardale
The Upper Dale part of the 101 (Stanhope - Cowshill) and the Rookhope 102 usually get 24 seat Solo Y6WMS whereas 27 seat V6WMS does 763/774 from Consett. The Sprinter will give better fuel consumption than a Solo, but like the previously used Bluebird and Sprinters used five years ago will be cramped and disliked by passengers.
