They're regular performers on services to which they are wholly unsuited including the X1, X26, X27, X66, X67, Sapphire 1, 5, 5A and Sapphire 7. It would of course help if the large squadron of Omnicities were to be retired and replaced with something more modern and hence reliable. Then vehicle allocation nay have a chance of stabilising, but current policy won't allow that any time soon.
Ah, never realised there's a big problem down there with them venturing off route. Not going to lie, they badly need to send the Solo's elsewhere and get some bigger buses from somewhere, not sure there's any spare big buses around though.
Arriva Southern Counties would probably appreciate them though since they've still got roughly 30 darts in service and some even more elderly Solo's in use.
