They are likely to be replacing the solos as they are getting on a bit being V platers

These where for the 200. Halton are supposedly getting newer solos to replace the V reg examples.

Are the X reg marshalls still there?

Thanks, I just assumed that they would be replacing those solos

#17 and #18 are used on the 200 all week
#19 spends most of its time on the 2 and 14c but also slips onto the 62 and 14a from time to time.
#20 spends most of its time on the 9 and schools in the afternoon but spent the day on the 2 today.
#22 is mainly used on schools now but it has been out on the 14c once or twice recently.
Darts 23-33 are used on just about anything but there mostly found on the 62/2 and the 61a.

Many years ago 20 was regularly used into Liverpool on a Sunday morning 161.
