Most of the Peterlee Depot will be Solo, hopefully 603 will be moved so it allows it to be full Solo.
Solo SR's are too big for the contract specification for the 168. Did wonder if one of the ex Thames Travel old bodied Solo's could have gone on the 168 as they are M880's examples meaning they are just okay for the contract specification for the 168.

My fear is the loadings on this new X6/X7 with Solo SR's, with two buses an hour between Peterlee and Sunderland, the loadings could be spread out across both services meaning a Solo SR would be big enough to take the loadings but at the same time I fear that the increased frequency may bring more passengers to the service and the capacity may not be enough. I feel Solo SR's would be able to take the loadings though and they should perform perfectly fine on the A19.
