Todays WYIS fleetlist has Keighley 72 branded Versa 204 as having been withdrawn along with York based 205 and 206. Yes I believe this is due to unreliability I suspect more to do with their imminent return off lease. I gather that the Solo made available with the recent K7 timetable change, will become the regular 72 allocation.

Further updated WYIS list - Versa 207 to York from Harrogate and Little Explorer Dart 707 loaned to Rosso (Burnley Queensgate) from York - presumably some logic somewhere in not sending plain white 719.

Keighley have tweeted that the demonstrator is operating the 15:15 to Leeds and will be the 17:15 back to Keighley. You've about an hour to get to Leeds bus station........Go!!
Edit
It will be a bit late though as I've just passed it at Kirkstall Bridge and it won't get through to the bus station in 20 minutes.

Hmmm, has it turned out that Versas are not big enough for the Aireline?

Not that this is a surprise, however the latest WYIS fleet list states that the vast majority of stored B10s are now been sold for scrap, apart from: 1053, 1079, 1080, 1081, 1084, 1085, 1086. As well as dart 704 and 715 and President 2709 are also been scrapped. 31 vehicles in all, 23 of them currently at Blackburn - should create a bit of space! Latest WYIS list shows 24 vehicles waiting to go for scrap. Seven have gone so far.

Also seems that two of Yorks Little Explorer liveried Darts have are now permanently with Rosso; 707 definitely as it is listed as having Rosso branding on its LE colours.

That rebranding works very well. Interesting to note the withdrawn Rosso Scania Solars are, with one exception, not marked as being for disposal. Whats happening with the B10BLEs marked for reuse seems a bit clearer with a number re-registered presumably for use at Burnley and all the others bar 1087 as being "Likely to be converted to training vehicle"
