It is interesting to note that route 75 is Solo on Sundays, as I rode an ex-London 10.7m Dart on it in July.

I noticed Darlington with a large allocation of Solos now, and rode 11-reg 2868 in July. It is likely to be rareish to have pure Solos (as against Solo SRs) with 2009 moquette. It seems that some ex-Stagecaoch Darts have been replaced by Solos.

No idea what will replace them on the X66.

The 75/76 during the week was originally supposed to be Olympians (PVR 3 and Darlington had 3 Olympians). It's now supposed to be the Ikraus 4077-9 (once they are all there).

Not exactly rare - Arriva North East has the 8 Solos at Darlington (2862-9), the 10 Durham P&R ones (2852-61) and the 5 61-reg NexusBus livered ones (2601-3, 2870/1) then there's the ones in the Midlands. And yes, the 11 reg Solos replaced a few of the ex-Stagecoach Darts.

Yes, 4659 does still wear the 63 branding. 4648-50/5 carry Seasider branding.

Also branded on Teesside are:
'Fresh' 9 (Gold): 1441-3
'Fresh' 27/a (Sliver): 1444-50
'Fresh' 29 (Navy Blue): 1451/2
'The Director's Cut' 15: 1484-90

1905/6/9/10 still carry part of their 'Fresh' 15 branding.

Right - Does it still operate on the 63 or is it operating on any service?

Also, I will have to look out for those other brandings! - I really want a picture of 4659 and a Seasider branded Omnicity mainly though!

4659 appears normally either on 5s or 93/X93, if they aren't at Whitby they normally turn up on anything at Redcar.
