You be lucky, Stagecoach don't have any depots in Leeds or West Yorkshire.
But do have four depots in South Yorkshire.

Based on what Yorkshire have replaced recently, it's either a MAN 14.220 (with MCV or East Lancs body) which is unlikely as group policy seems to be to dispose of the type; or it's an Optare Solo of some description.
Could also be a non-DDA ALX300; but I can't see much point in that.

Got a feeling its a Solo as the X-OBN Solo that was in use here has not been seen by me or Buses7675 since before Xmas

Think 47743 went up to Lillyhall to join the rest. Definately not at Gillmoss.

I did well to get a drive on it then albeit only 2 hours on the 192!

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.
I'll be right beside you dear.

Not the best photo, but still a record of 47743 X612 OBN having been at Gillmoss!

Does tend to be ADL Enviro300s om the 192 Sunday daytimes, unless a driver asks for something different, then usually the Solos go out for the evening part.
