Information posted suggesting the Solos have gone is incorrect. At least two spotted in and around Manchester Piccadilly/Victoria over the last couple of afternoons complete with Selwyn legals means they are still in the fleet. Not sure why or what they were doing, presumably rail reps.

A picture of one was posted on Facebook and the drives friend said he knows why the solo was in central Manchester but isn't allowed to say why.

They have now stopped accepting new applications for the recruitment drive, which would suggest there were an abundant of drivers wishing to move to the company

I was guess there's some of the ex-MCT drivers who are yet to find new employment given MCT went out-of-business just before other operators started introducing emergency timetables due to COVID.
