Arranging for drivers / engineers to move some buses around isn't too difficult a task - just needs communication between two different departments...
Unfortunately, it goes further than that............
Of course, Darlington could go and get 2852-61 and move them allowing Blyth to go and collect 1760/7/91 and Stockton to collect their Solos...........
BUT Stockton and the Solos becomes the key issues - very few drivers at Stockton have ever driven Solos so before they can even enter service, the entire driving staff at Stockton will have to be type trained on the Solos. In fact, might end up with Stockton's Solos moving over in ones and twos to get the drivers trained prior to entering service (either than or borrowing 2827 or 2828 from Whitby to train the drivers would be the other option)
