Just making sure you don't mean 47751, which I have as "unallocated". I think this went on loan to Lincolnshire or somewhere, but has probably now returned. 47752 now has a nice little job as a information bus in wales (nobody has mentioned this yet) image seen on flickr 5 days ago https://www.flickr.com/photos/welshpete2...049758952/ |

Solo's do polish up well I thought they were all tatty sheds when they got old but it just seems to be First not being bothered about a scruffy bus. |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
Yh first don't take any pride hardly in their fleet whereas 90% of the time stagecoach do. Other 10% they can be scruffy if they ain't been cleaned in a couple of days but assume they'll at minimum get internal clean daily? Solos always polish up nice, some have been re-done internally with enviro 400 style seats which are a big improvement. The JPT fleet went sharpish as most of it was knackered as was, particularly the dennis tridents & they also had 1 or 2 non DDA olympians. Hopefully the primos are sold on as they're alright buses, we've had em round here in the macclesfield/cheshire area. Lasted well & although they're a slightly odd layout & the single door can be a bit slow opening they were quite nippy!!! Also are the lolyne bodied tridents still with us? Always loved em & the single leaf folding door was an unusual feature along with the window on the stairs. |
