63 withdrawn really ?  was having engine sorted the other day, couple of its of body work bits missing, bumper be off as its been recovered, and back panel's off,  prob to gain engine access. I would be rather surprised to withdraw one of the newer members of the fleet tbh time will tell....

Being 19 seaters, i imagine theyll stick them on really appropriate longer distance services like the other Solos

Cutting Essington is the most awful desicion ever

Are all these cuts actually making any difference?

Don't seem to be.

To be honest, re yesterday,  I'm surprised it was Midland Classic & not these!
