Anyone's guess really but should replace 709d's or as you say Vario's
47018-20 are off to Barrow.
rumours of 47003/4 to Morecambe, not sure what the reason is lol.

good god we don't need any more solos lol I hope they move up north as they would be wasted on us surely unless they replaced some older ones and then you got them but I doubt it
being a rumour, it probably won't happen lol.
Carlisle could do with them, but with their low floor mini darts being used a lot on staff shuttles, it suggests if they actually need them lol. they seem to prefer using the beaver bodied vario's on the Keswick services. isnt often i see the others (apart from the marshall bodied one today, which was on layover. it had 685 on the blinds. probably waiting for a driver to take it back to the depot at the end of a shift or something)

waiting for confirmation, but the 4 solo's going to Kendal are supposed to be replacing 30342, 33164, 33165 and 33166. 30342 should go for disposal, whilst the other 3 will see further use in Carlisle apparently, cos they already have a few buses on the same chassis, makes it easier for them to maintain them.

There's a good chance 30342 may be put back into reserve as a back up. It turned up in Kendal shortly after 20775 was written off as a temp replacement so it may be kept just in case something similar happens again some ware. I haven't seen one bus today lol which is really odd seeing as I've been out since early morning lol. Looking forward to seeing those solos out and about in Kendal 
would be a good idea to keep it on reserve, but the chassis is apparently in pretty bad condition. Plenty of other buses around as spares like. still a few stuff at Lillyhall sitting around, then of course the B6 from Lancaster going onto the reserve fleet lol. theres also a few B10M's on reserve these days that could replace accident damaged vehicles unless they are going out for further service lol.
i havn't seen or heard anything from my house lol, but i've been told 709D's are out on their usual sunday routes, and i'd guess theres solo's out on the 30.

Well if its falling apart your probably right it will be scrapped lol and yeah I guess there is quite a lot lying around in varies places
As I've said previously, 30342 has had extensive welding to its chassis, both by its previous owner (Glenvale) and then again by SC Merseyside. I think Gez mentioned that it was on its way for scrap when it was diverted to replace 20775.

There was a Merc out this morning (no id) but 47023 was out this afternoon in place of it PX08FMU on the 30
nothing unusual today from what i could see!!!!!!! really odd haha
52635 was on annexe when i got back from sixth form.
20761 on morning Cockermouth X5, then SL Ltd Contract.
all 3 marshall darts on Harrington & Seaton.
solo's all on their usual routes.
14234 on school work. some of the blocks on its bright tech are more yellow than others, which i found a little odd lol.
only thing not normal is 30 and 31. all 30's have been running late, which has meant buses swapping between the 2. 22609 i think it was, entered workington bus station very late on 30, the same time as 25225 on 31. the enviro 300 left on 31, and 25225 ran "dead" to Maryport to catch up on time.
