The information re the E400s came to me right from the very top via a reliable industry source so as far as I'm concerned it's correct unless proven otherwise. Of course that source may have got it wrong, but as it is I have no reason to disbelieve them. As ever I am happy to be corrected!See my reply before you. You haven’t heard it because it’s completely incorrect
Whether we will keep them on these runs longer term i don’t know, but the long solos are proving perfect fits for at least 3 of the duchy college runs For both loadings and road types used
Re the Solos, using new well-specified vehicles on college runs is not really earning their keep. Beyond the short term it'd make more sense swapping them with cascaded E200s or Darts and getting them back to all-day services somewhere else in the Firstgroup empire. It'd be a great shame to see them go, but as with the current E400s at SPS it makes financial sense.
