However, with the Scania's due to leave anytime soon (not confirmed if Deptford will lose the Scania's), i wonder if they'll limit the "Black Cats" brand to just the 2/2A and 39, and are getting ready to drop the brand from the Solo's?
It would allow for more flexibility in the vehicle allocation to the mini bus services at Deptford as whenever a branded vehicle is missing off of the 33's/238 & 700 nine times out of ten it is another branded vehicle covering which may have the same or lesser specification than the usual vehicle.
I've seen in the last few weeks Streetlites, 10reg Black Cats Solo's, Scania L94's and Volvo B7 Gemini's allocated to the service, the goes for the 700 when that has one missing literally anything which is spare gets allocated.
Then you Peterlee who always have a vehicle shortage and end up nicking one of the vehicles which is meant to be allocated to said service, I think Go North East could do with a larger float fleet, say of around 8 vehicles which would consist of x2 mini buses, x2 midibuses, x2 full sized singles deckers and x2 double deckers.
