I saw this outside aintree atherton rd depot a few weeks back being repanelled and repainted and notice then it had the leather seats looks like then perhaps they are giving the older solos some refurbishment? They badly need it too!

Ex Supertravel solo 012 (MX05 OSY) is on 811 again still no logos on it and looks freshly painted yellow

OSW is the ex-Supertravel one, not OSY.

What ever it was was ex Supertravel still has 012 on doors and bits of purple skirt paint coming through on the bck end bumper

Solo M780SL MX54 KYH was unusually on the 135/235 on Monday - apparently, it was going to "Litherland"!

Also, I'm not sure if this Alero has been seen yet but I've got a photo of YP52 BPE in a "withdrawn state"...

Cumfy have a demo Enviro200 8.8m, reg YX62 EEY, fresh out of the factory still with paper covering the floor!
Had a little look around the depot in Aintree just then, many thanks to all staff who made us very welcome!

Very interesting that, maybe they are trying to temp them away from Optare Solos!

maybe they dont eanno go for the solo sr wjich they may not like the look of.

Optare Solos IMO are one of the worst buses going, so I would be glad to see them replaced by something bigger and better quality! That said, like Class 142 trains, would the routes they serve have remained viable without them?
