Dont think so mate, I think it was intended as a replacement for 7632, however with 7632 being fixed much quicker than first expected, it was sent to St Helens I believe. Thats my understanding anyway!

People always say the Solos at St Helens are too small for the majority of routes...
I doubt they will have been dropped, that is of course if they were on the official order books in the first place! If they were though, I expect they'll turn up elsewhere. However surely if they do turn up elsewhere, won't one end up having dual purpose seats seeing as it will have been taken from the Runcorn order?
