The Ashington batch are also moving to keep the entire lot together from an engineering point of view, which makes complete sense if you ask me.
Not to mention, Arriva have been getting some stick in their Darlington operations lately, this is a clear headline of intent to keep the politicians happy.
Bodes well for the CAZ then.
Taking the Ashington ones away makes zero sense if that's the logic. They'll be replaced by, having also replaced, a batch of Solo's which will also be oddballs at Ashington... Solo's which, evidently, are increasingly unreliable - as well as being horrendous from a driver and passenger POV. Again, makes perfect sense.
