That one usually runs on the 58

Seen it on a few different services recently, it frequently made appearances on the 113 for a bit but the 58 is its usual home.

Spotted a Y red solo on the 58, this morning. In the cream and red Scarlet Band livery.

It did not sound or look happy about it. The journey that is. It wasn't even on the steepest part of its route.

I know the one you mean, I had it on the 33 the other week and it sounded pretty rough.

Has the fleet list for Scarlet band been updated

There were a few anomalies when I checked, last week- repaints etc.

As far as I'm aware these are the changes since the fleet list was last updated.

YJ05JWO, YJ05JWN, Y236LRR and MX10KNW repainted into fleet livery.

YJ55YGL repainted pink for service 16.

YT51EAY no longer has 42 windscreen branding.

YT51EAW, T469BCN and V931VUB have left the fleet. Not 100% on V931VUB but I haven't seen it for quite a while now.

YN04LWN and Durham Park and Ride Solos added to fleet.

Park and Ride Solo SR YJ64 DXU has now been branded: https://www.flickr.com/photos/109436376@...ateposted/

YJ64DYG is another now in the Park & Ride livery

On VOSA today:

A new addition at Scarlet Band is Optare Solo SR KX14FHT - no idea if it's been bought or is just a loan.

Several things wrong with that. The mix of white and black above the windows and secondly, THE NUMBER IS ON THE WRONG SIDE!!!!!

Haha!

You can see the remains of the 'Malta Public Transport' logo on the black part.

I noticed both of these when I saw it and they both annoy me, other than the Durham Park and Ride Solo SR's pretty much all of Scarlet Band's buses have the service number on the incorrect side, why I don't know!

I'll let them off with that one

The Scarlet Band logo could at least be placed on the front of the vehicle though.

I reckon it might be a warranty cover from Optare but I could be wrong.

Y236LRR Optare Solo was on 58 this Morning and yesterday MX55WCZ Green Solo was on 58

I'm going to hazard a guess these will have both been on the extra morning working of the 58 which then drops onto the 110/111/112 circuit after it arrives in Durham, I saw green Our Bus branded Solo in Woodham working the Newton Aycliffe schools service 879 yesterday afternoon which also runs off the 110/111/112.

Yep, I didn't notice either through the day. I'm usually alerted to something different than the usual E200s by the engine noise up the hill!

Solo YJ06YRE has now been repainted into the standard livery.

I went to Malta recently and I could swear I saw it
The Quaylinks have that problem mainly 8310-8318

The new-ish solo from Malta has been doing the rounds on the 58 for the past few days. Big'un has been obsessively keeping track of it, of course.

Optare Solo SR KX14FHT was on the service 58 this morning was on round about 8 38 am in hartlepool

Seems to have become a fixture. That's 4 or 5 days in a row, now.

Though MX10 DXL has been back on the 58 for the first time in a while.

I must use it at some point!!!!!
I used it creepily in Malta, the DDA laws about destination displays I don't think are very harsh

Well NX55 FFS (how apt) is trundling around the 58 route, today. The rear (roller) blind is displaying 16, with a bit of the 9 showing.
