I wonder if Hexham will get anything to replace the Solo SRs and Versas at some point, double deckers appear more common than previously, usually a Tyne Valley 10. No idea what it's now doing at Riverside. X-lines made a short return on the 684! (never been X-lines on the 684, only briefly when it was the X84/X85, December 2020-January 2022?
Thats crazy deckers have been withdrawn before enough buses have come in to replace them.
The funny thing is, there's 37 new deckers in service today. 16 of which are diesel, there's absolutely no excuse of running solos on a double decker route. The displaced ones just haven't been cascaded to other depots yet, it's really weird.
