He's apparently already hired replacements:

They have only hired buses from another company to run the school runs. They have not sourced replacements for their own fleet.

Network Warrington apparently covering some of the school services, and not going to charge the passengers for use

A number of Fairbrother’s buses are out in service today so thankfully a number survived..

From the pictures seen, the 2 coaches, went up and 2 solos as well as the named 1940s bus (unsure whos it is as I don't think it would be a Fairbrothers bus).
I reacon he will just use the school deckers all day rather than the solos on things like 16H/T and 1C. Good job Fairbrothers have spare buses isn't it.

The heritage bus was Leyland Titan EED 8. A sad loss

Surprised to see that he only has eight discs - do the Solos only work non-schooldays?

The solos tend to work every service day from what ive seen in the past.

I could be wrong but it sounds logical to do it that way or you end up using deckers on local routes and obviously that uses a lot more fuel so swapping between buses keeps the fuel usage lower.
