The London forums is all speculation atm but it's pretty certain that there's going to be some 12 Plate classic Enviro 200's going but let's hope they stay well clear for obvious reasons.

Another speculation is the 9.7m ENR's which are also single door Enviro 200 MMC's but they're too long for up here (33 seats). It's a bit of guess what right now but something is very likely going.

Regardless of what comes up here, new or old, the Solos are well past it regardless. I am sort of seeing any work on 2601-03 as an example of Arriva simply doing stuff based on the book value of the vehicle, which seems to have lead to the same insanity of refurbishing some of the V-DNL Darts, and not dumping the high-floor ALX100/Varios at Hexham when they swapped with GNE.
