However, one thing that makes me inclined to believe that it DOES interwork with scholars is;
The new rota involves the 887, and that finishes at Fatfield about 16:14. Not sure what time the shorts start, but chances are, as recently a lot of Lolynes have been allocated ever since the new rota's introduction, I believe they may interwork.
It may just do schools on a morning then sit around the depot all day - I'm not sure.
It will do schools at some point though, because it wouldn't be allocated a Trident otherwise. :p
