Don't think anyone has reported it, Solo SR 700 has arrived from Wythenshawe following the loss of the Stockport Metroshuttle service

Aye noted it last week fella, its here as macc have got a couple of solos off the road. From my driver mate reckons its 706 & poss 704 as well both been having issues lately I understand.

As for the 38s, DEFFO not gonna get a sun service off arriva. D&G have much keener prices than arriva do, & they seem to make a reasonable crust off it especially when its bank hols etc.

Quick research on Internet says Brightbus are from Sheffield, the company name is really called MAS Special Engineering Ltd.

Brightbus/Mass specialise in School and Private Hires round various parts of South Yorkshire and seem to have a quite a number of tri-axle vehicles in their fleet mainly Olympians, Dennis Dragons and Dennis Condors

Well at least its off to a good home now, hopefully the school kids won't trash it completely but you never know!

Plus if they specialise in school/college contracts etc etc means 3615 should live on for a few more years. Outta curiousity will it have to comply with the DDA compliance in 2017 or be exempt if its only used on school runs???
