No idea why the Solos aren't in service at Darlington yet either, it seems at least one is being used on some diversion shuttle service and others keep popping up on routes in the Newcastle area like the 55. If they keep sitting around for any longer they are probably going to only be fit for town services.

I think the Dart's are getting swapped soon but not sure exactly when, perhaps when more of Belmon't Enviro's enter service (I think most are now in service) and the X12/X2 Gemini's get MAX refurbishment.

I know 2832 got taken off at Darlington after I had it on the 5 the other day, BONG!

Still hoping for more full size buses to operate the 1/5/5A, hoping some of the Pulsar's off the X1 will stay.
