I guess you could probably get all the custom for the 2 onto smaller vehicles.
Due to being in a completely different part of the country, I'm not really sure what's going on with the retail park: is it finished yet, and the 26 serving there?
If that service would need to do a 3-point turn in the park too (which is really bad planning -- surely they could squeeze space for a turning circle!) then it would also have to be a mini, from what you suggest.
So then we'd need at least 5 vehicles: four on the 2, one on the 26.
And they'd surely need at least one backup vehicle too (like Warrington, which needs 5 Solos, but has 6, one being for backup).
Which doesn't fit with the info that there will be 4.

Maaaaybe the 4 minis are for the 2, and they might be able to get the shorter dart they have on the 26 to do the 3-point turn?

On a related point, I wonder whether they'll still be doing the 14c, or having a proper service 2 on Sundays in future.
