It is not clear yet what their futures are. Possibly one will be retained and the other sold after refurbishment.

Just read that P&O Lloyd have two new Solos, YJ16 DXL & YJ16 DXM. Does anyone know which ones are being replaced?

The two new Solo SR's arrived on Wednesday and are due to enter service on MOnday. One is to work the 126 Holywell Mold service and the other the 22 Holywell local service.

No Solos have left the fleet recently - but I understand that YN04LXK and YN54BTE will soon be for sale.
