They should neatly circumscribe the activities of the last few B10Ls then.

Farewell to wind-up roller blinds at PB, except the last few Solos.

I think PB only had 13 x B10L left prior to the NXC Omnilinks arriving, I'm wondering if 1863 & 1864 might go to WA?

They have lost 1836 as well

Fair point forgot about 1836, I did think they may get away with say 12 x Omnilinks to replace 13 B10L's due the Omnilinks being newer/more reliable

Are PB solo's to be withdrawn at Some point?

WN's B5s and E400Hs are going to be withdrawn at some point

You'll be middle aged by the time that happens lol. They'll be converted to full Diesel by that time probably.

Sooner the better, hate them, a hate that probably stems from them putting them on routes like the 28

And is it only E200's which replace, in broader terms, Minibuses within the county? I'd have thought they'd get a proper mini not Midi's - if you can call them that. (In leymans terms, the front axle in front of the passenger doors)

What do you mean? E200's are the only buses close enough to the same capacity of a Solo that NX currently buy.

No what I'm on about is why don't they buy actual Minibuses? If you know what I mean. Basically not Midi's.
