‘Scene’ going Solo in Leicester on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The Optare Solo is not the prettiest bus but it has served many operators and served them well.

 

A small selection from a quick visit.

I did not expect to see one of ‘Arriva’s old Solo’s to appear in the new livery but here one is.

A direct comparison between the new and old liveries seen here only goes to show how dark and dismal the old livery is.

 

New to ‘Arriva The Shires’.
