Yep a cadet is used on it both day and night. I used a Cadet Friday evening when I was running it on the night service..

GHA should buy them. Some of their Solos and 8.8m Darts are a bit past it.

That's a bit much for a 11 plate solo, be interesting to see how long it takes for them to sell.

RE: WBT Network Warrington
Apparently it's about the going rate for them. Insides of them are like new to be fair..

If Warrington bought them new in 2011 i wonder how much they actually for them and how much their loosing selling them just 4 years later.
Were they acquired to replace older vehicles or for a pacific service? Just seems slightly bizarre to aquire brand new vehicles , built to spec inside, only to sell them when there practically still new.
