At the moment I know that Wharfedale 165 is going to Team Pennine joining 166 but what about all the others? Are they going back to Keighley colours?

I can imagine more of them would possibly go to Team Pennine to replace some of the older solos, maybe some to Rosso to replace the ex-Tiger ones there but just a guess

I'd think it'd make sense to keep them at Keighley to use in place of Shuttle B7's on the K3,5,7 & 9.

I would agree with that. Do they use full sized buses on some of the K local services for capacity reasons or because there aren’t enough Solos to go around? If it’s the latter then I’d expect them to move to Keighley. If it’s the former then Team Pennine at Elland looks like the obvious location

If it’s the latter then I’d expect them to move to Keighley. If it’s the former then Team Pennine at Elland looks like the obvious location My guess would be that they use them because they are available. When they were renewing the fleet in 2016/17, they bought Versas for the K7, 60 and 66, and Solos for the rest of the local work – at the time, they thought the K7 needed more capacity, but the subsequent reduction in frequency suggests that they may have overestimated that. With the 60 and 66 being upgraded to double-deckers to provide capacity, and the Versas being rounded up for Flyer, they still only had enough Solos for the rest of the local work but not all of it, while they still had enough Volvos to cover the gaps. |
