Not sure if it ran fully commercial or was it run on a diminished payment?
I agree, The 193 would of been Withdrawn way before Cumfybus knew they won the work
3 all white Solos have appeared at the Southport yard YN53ZWF an M910 ex-Royal British Legion, Byng House , Southport and MX08 DGU/V M850SL ex- Holmeswood.
I assume these will go to Aintree to displace the 12 Reg Solos to Bolton

Why are the ones at BN being moved then?
Bolton has won more work starting 31st October meaning a PVR increase and its expected the 12 Reg Solos at Aintree will join Bolton
White Solo MX05EMV was out on route 234 in Maghull yesterday never seen it before so decided to have a ride and what a nice bus it is it has a Cummins engine where as the majority of Cumfys Solo fleet have Mercedes engines. Anyone know how long its been at Cumfybus? Its an ex Yorkshire machine judging by the ticket sign on the cab door.

A bit over a year, I think - I first saw it on the K1 bridge shuttle, which Cumfybus operated for a few months when the footbridge over the M62 was closed for replacement.
I think NT06 GKA arrived at the same time (and probably from the same source).

Indeed it was in Yorkshire with Dales and Disctrict. Also with Go Goodwins in Manchester for a time.
Found a closed auction that started 20 Aug 2015
