I wonder whether a current TP vehicle is out of service or has been cascaded away? It's just that on Thursday I saw a Skyline Scania Solar on the TP service.
Anybody know have high peak just got the new solos now? Think they've virtually got rid of all their older examples apart from a couple that are still hanging around.

Still in service are 265 (YN03ZXA) which is an M920, 290/1 (YJ11EJO/U) which are M880, and 352/78/80 (MX05EKT, YJ06FXP, and MX08DGE) which are M850.
236 (YJ07EFZ), an M710, is still in stock, but withdrawn.
Does anyone know the new registration numbers of Optare Solo's W50 PJC & W60 PJC?
Thanking you in anticipation.
Surprised 265 is still with us, must be on the brink on getting withdrawn I think as most companies withdraw vehicles off at about the 15yr age.
270 (YN04 LWU) & 269 (MX04 VLV) were both around earlier this year but will be withdrawn by now. The solars if memory serves right are 05 plates so should still have a few years left in em. A few have been repainted out of their skyline liveries & into standard high peak colours plus had the interiors scrubbed up a bit too.

The Scania-Solars are in fact 04-reg. Of these 690 & 693 were refurbished and painted into CentreBus livery, but the rest to Skyline livery.
If I remember correctly, Stagecoach have run this service in the past.
Solo 270 was in Leicester this afternoon. It COULD be a transfer, but it had no vinyls or fleet number.
