Hello good question I don't really know. But I would Hazard to guess that is not far off. One of them had been parked up at the back of yard recently and on the 4/22 more opters and bl7 have been doing the routes. I would of thought once Harrogate get it's new buses and Rochdale closes then they might start to replace them.

Shame they don't use Bristol RE's anymore as I think you would have loved them. Especially the growl of the engine and the whine of the gearbox.

@@anthonyleecooke awww man that sucks. they were so amazing. they were the best medium size busses (used to go on them smaller shopper busses from 99 with my gran so ive been on smaller) but the solos were my main childhood. they were connection to colledge after secondary school and most of my childhood i just got a day ticket for the sake of it and rode to the end of the line, wonderful memories on them solos. miss em but sadly i cant turn back the clock or put myself in a time loop. just glad i manadged to see you drive one for a bit. very awesome to see some are still in the uk.
Very nice vid, coming to Blackburn today might see u. If not ay well.
