A little research on Flickr shows the Metrocities are hybrid and come from Shaun's Travel in Ripon- one registered LK58CTY and both Versas appear to be more from Rotala Diamond in the West Midlands.

Optare Tempo Hybirds you mean?

Yeah you're right there. Optares all look similar from a distance

3 Optare Metrocities with dual doors in red with "Shaun's" fleetnames plus an all over black 12 plate Versa as well.

Also seen slightly beforehand at the lights at Roe Lane/ Hartwood Road was another Hybrid Versa in silver on suspended tow behind an American big rig wrecker. Not sure if this is Cumfy's as I drove to their yard shortly after but it hadn't arrived yet. I took a crappy photo but not sure how to attach it.

Could be owned by RNIB BYNG HOUSE thay have a silver versa (YJ16DY'S) which replaced the Solo mow owned by Cumfybus

It wasn't theirs Wimdebusse, it was identical to this - https://www.flickr.com/photos/john-s-91/...uf5-duUP2E

The black Hybrid Versa is YJ12GTZ and yesterday's arrival is YJ12 GUC. One of the Tempos is LK58CUA I couldn't id the other 2 as the ex-Legion Solo was in the way.

One of the other Shaun s is LK58CTY (OTH971) , the other could be LK58CTZ? all three were new to Metroline 2/09. Only saw two of the Shaun s Tempo's this afternoon though

Cumfybus have a versa out on the 139 today.

Stored at Southport are Solo's VU52UEM, MX53FDF, YS02UCD & YX04LXA, these have replace stored Versa's YJ12GTY/GTZ/GUD & YJ61JJK/JON.
