They brought it out of retirement. It was originally withdrawn but due lack of buses it couldn't be withdrawn

Think they need to withdraw solos before owt else, this e200 is one of the newer of the fleet compared to clapped out wreck solo sheds.

coach aid will be getting excited then :-) why they use these bags of unreliable scrap on the longer interurban routes and keep bigger / newer / more reliable stuff on the quiet routes is beyond any logic at all! 25 seat sheds aint the tool for the job especially at school /peak times, it seems like they don't want the route, stick a solo on it - kill it off - job done!
Lets hope these solos are dumped on to the Telford area if they could actually make it that far to start with !
