BIB: There's a reason Stockton got rid of their Solos last year other that Tiger requiring them - they are now too small capacity wise for any of Stockton's routes. The 7 needed larger buses for school capacity - previously it was possible to do that with one large bus but now that 4 of the 6 workings get hit by school finishing times, it made more sense to convert to full-size full time (original plan was for 2803-5/7/8/29 to move to Blyth but that then fell through. Stockton actually require the Pulsars more than Blyth do. Plus don't forget that Blyth's PVR will drop once Killingworth Road reopens at some point this year, so some vehicles will be removed from fleet without replacement.
