I wonder what will happen if another one, maybe two Solos at Whitby go kaput ?

How many other Solos exist in the north east that aren't actually needed on other depots routes that cant operate with full sized vehicles? I'm sure they'd all like to get rid of them if they can.

It does seem odd that they'd have trouble sourcing parts, though, when Solos are still being manufactured. That said, it's also weird how Arriva don't just buy a small batch of new Solos or other minibuses as replacements.
