Interesting to see the 96 is cancelled. Are they going to increase the frequency of the 95

Possibly could bin it off either and let someone else run it? Not sure from a money point of view it would be worth keeping it and having to keep the Solo's in service. Without it they could argue withdraw the lot, bar the 3 baby ones at Ashington.

Believe the 95 can run with Pulsar's without issue.

96 has been lost to another operator - no real shock with the state of Arriva’s operations around Whitby in the last couple of years!

95 amended to not operate into Sainsbury’s or Eskdale Estate - also operating into Whitby via New Bridge as new reg’s on vehicular access to the swing bridge come into affect.

Yeah not too surprised. Be interesting if they even bid for it as it means they can now effectively withdraw the remaining Solo's which are a headache as an understatement as I assume they're on borrowed time now. 

Be a quite expensive tender if they had to get a new bus for it since the 63 Solo SR's seem as reliable as the rest.

96 wasn't lost to anyone. Arriva handed it back, as they didn't want to operate it anymore.

Who has been awarded the 96?

I wonder what the 23 24 and 58 changes are, be great if the 23 went back to doing the full route to Dalton Park and Sunderland but probably not.
