(06 May 2016, 9:06 pm)GMitchelhill To be honest, the best idea would be to trial it on routes that use the Optare Solo considering they are meant to be comparing it to the Solo in the first place.

(06 May 2016, 7:21 pm)biglugs@yahoo.com Im looking through all the services suitable for 9101 and came across a picture of a white streetlight on the 34 and so here is my suggestion of services it could be trailed on.
1)  the ventures
2)  sunderland connect
3) lampton worm
4) 82/85/86
5) 38/238
Not saying its these services just a suggestion and a guess.

(06 May 2016, 9:11 pm)citaro5284 But if you use the same routes as a current Solo, how would you know how it is going to perform on the routes you are looking to buy it for?

(06 May 2016, 8:21 pm)LeeCalder I'm probably going to say it's for demonstration purposes on the Washington local services (82/82A/85/86) to wipe out the MPD's?

Possibly not the 82/82A though due to the Cadet/Merit/President allocation?

(06 May 2016, 7:49 pm)citaro5284 Not the 18.....pdiddy will be wanting it there for sure

(07 May 2016, 5:39 am)Dan The bus should transfer to Washington on Monday, and, following a period of driver familiarisation, be allocated to services 82/82A/82B for one week. After this, it will be used on services 85/86 for a further week.

It will transfer out of Washington after this, for a further two-week trial on another service.

(06 May 2016, 6:47 pm)Michael Is there a limited amount of tickets or is it to get an estimate of how many people will turn up for future reference?

(07 May 2016, 8:48 am)S813 FVK Well, the tickets look to have all 'sold out' now. However, there was never an advertised amount of tickets available?

(07 May 2016, 8:33 am)Michael The people who use the 82/82A/82B/85/86 will think Christmas has come early!

(05 May 2016, 6:02 pm)Dan Probably early next week for them entering service now.

A Streetlite has gone to Deptford for familiarisation but I doubt they will manage to get through all of Deptford's drivers within two days.

(07 May 2016, 9:25 am)randomdude Thanks Michael
Hadn't seen that

(07 May 2016, 9:26 am)Michael No worries, thought i would just quote Dan's post as its easier =).

Hopefully they are out early next week! =)

(07 May 2016, 9:17 am)randomdude Does anyone know if any of the new Prince Bishops streetlites are out today?

(07 May 2016, 9:30 am)Dan Current plan is for six to enter service on Tuesday.

(07 May 2016, 9:35 am)Michael Cool, Will they be in service from first thing or put in to service during the day?

Will they replace the branded Scania's so they can go to SM for repaint, quickens them up to get other buses done.

(07 May 2016, 9:31 am)Andreos1 The purple Solars (or at least some of them), are recieving 'coming soon' posters.
A date hasn't been given on the posters.
