I used it yesterday lunch time and both journeys it was a Solo, and it was packed.
I think there were only 3 seats free by the time we left Eldon Square.
Since the service changes the Hexham interworking pattern sees 3 Versa's allocated to the 680, 688 and even hour 684's from Hexham while 3 Solo's are allocated to the AD122, 687 and odd hour 684's from Hexham during the day. Peak times slightly more jumbled as the bus used on the 686 during the day comes into play (and operates the afternoon X85). Solo's are standalone now on the 74, 681, 686 and 689.
It seems one of those Versa boards has been allocated a Solo every day for the past week and a bit, presumably because 5377 and 78 are both off road.
