I thought 47559 might possibly go on to there, but then it supposedly moved to Middleton, but never turned up there and just seemed to disappear.
I suppose if it's a spare then it's an obvious choice for driver changing, along with 40660.

Apparently it never left AZ, and is out of service with a major mechanical fault but from what I've been told from an AZ driver it's been dumped at the back of the depot along with one of the ex Maynes single deck Scania's and left to rot - now I'm sure both of these were supposedly moved to Middleton but only one ever went

The ex Maynes single deck would be 28506 (YN53GFJ) I presume. I believe this one is on the disposal list, which is why they're probably not making any attempt to revive it. But I would have thought the Solo would be repaired as it's only 08 reg, unless the problem is really major, in which case it may follow the Scania
