53155 (CN06 BXH) ex PMT is currently sat at Padmore Street, receiving attention. I have been told that this is the Solo we are expecting, along with 11 Citaros.

Fantastic! Does this mean that 53061 or 53062 could be Withdrawn once 53155 enters service?
Also, any more news on the Citaro's (Sorry - I'm very eager to find out!
)

I think that is the one that was gutted in a fire a few years back and then rebuilt over about two years.

It looks like 53155 is a replacement for 53061 or 2. The extra Solo will be arriving next week and it is coming from Manchester

Thanks bmmoboy
53062 has not been out since 7th August according to bus times so maybe that is suffering engine problems which would suggest it will be the first to be withdrawn & replaced by 53155.
Will the extra Solo from Manchester act as additional vehicle/spare or will it also replace the other remaining solo? (53061 or 53062 - depending on which one is left)

Does anyone have any news on 53155 or 53065. Are they still undergoing MOT prep? Or have they gone off for repaint - into a new service 31 livery as suggested?
