There's been 1 or 2 on the 56/57/57A pretty much every day last week, and they handle the route a hell of a lot better than the Solos. Despite being worn out, they sound a lot healthier than some of Durham's Solos too. 

I think I should rephrase what I said originally - they have been too worn out from use on the X15/X18 and their old guises of 501/505/518. Work such as the 6, 22, 24/24X, 43, 46/48 and 56/57/57A/86 they should be able to handle. Even the X1(X12)/X2 and X24 should be more suitable to them in their present state of mechanical form. Hopefully Durham's engineering can work their magic on all the Lowlanders as they did with the Tridents that have now found a second life with Yorkshire Tiger.
