Rental Optare Solo M7200SE-R KY63 VTJ was withdraw from service on Thursday evening and returned to Dawsonrentals on Friday 29/08/2014 (at around 17:45!) having been driven there by yours truly!
I'll post the photos soon!

If I watched the show I would probably be more interested in the cast lol
But as it happens I was driving £100,000+ worth of company property so that was my priority
honest
Unusually one of the Optare M7200s was on the 159 today, I think it was YD63 VCE. First time that I have seen one of these on the 159 for a long time!
Better late than never, here is a photo of KY63 VTJ as Dawsonrentals yard from 29/08/2014 when it was returned off hire! More photos of the various vehicles at Dawsonrentals are on my Flickr stream which I have finally updated!

And my personal last photo/drive of it in service a few days earlier on the 898!

Quite impressed with that photo given the lighting at Page Moss at 22:20 at night!
Mercedes Sprinter/Evobus demonstrator BX14 LDD is now at HTL for around a week - I will get some photographs of it (and a drive hopefully!) later today!
Very similar to BX12 DZG by all accounts, overall white but with the newer Mercedes Sprinter front end!
Not as exciting as KY63 VTJ though, but I'd still come in on my day off to drive it if I wasn't in today anyway!
