Since these changes the 353 is now allocated a Solo on an evening. Makes sense as it often used to be B9TL on Sunday evenings with maybe 1 - 5 people on. Starts around 5pm on a Sunday and 8pm the rest of the week.
I wonder if Go North East will invest in any more midibuses (Solo size) in future as most of the Solos are over 10 years old now.
