Sounds about right. Glad its in service anyway, better then it sitting around!
before service changes, Barrow had 5 spare Solo's allocated.
4 709D contracts lost, so 4 of the 7 709D's withdrawn.
Millom Town services gone low floor, meaning 4 spare Solo's left, and another 709D gone.
revised X7 (operating as 7) using a Solo as well, so 3 spare Solo's.
2 709D's retained for 512 and 513.
if the above is correct, then Barrow should have 3 spare minibuses before 47474, compared to the 2 spares Lillyhall have (including 34079, which is dead for the 2nd time within a month).
the only thing that could be stopping BA's solo's all being around, is down to some still waiting for repaint. quite a few have been done, but there's still a few to process. one or 2 could be off for that

I followed 25232 into the Bus Station at 18.35, which took the last available stand on the southbound side. I had to wait yet again for a stand to become free, as they was a bus already on my stand.

Seen buses going round several times till a space became free. Usually on the Southbound side around 6pm when a load of stuff terminates at the bus station!
Quick work on 25224!

With the recent re-timing of some services (ie 40's & 41's), this as caused one or two problems during the day.

More of aactually.!
Wonder what the logic is behind that, must be some!

If there is any, then I can't even begin to imagine what it might be!! Looks fairly bad for LL when the lack of low floors features in the local press. Watch out for an even larger shortage next week...

Not even featuring in the local press seems to have helped at all then. Reallocating 47474 is just stupid, words fail me!
What, even more of a shortage??? D:

Arn't they painting them as well? So maybe 47474 is just a temp cover
Yes, there is an on-going program to do them all. Many are in a dire state!!

Well there we are, 47474 could be covering for solos having MOT's and paint
Think I'd prefer it to be covering for broken Solos in my locale! But I'm biased
