We've just been through cobalt and 2 people nearly missed the bus because they didn't recognise it and both commented on how posh they were and an massive improvement to the MPDs.

A few teething problems with the Solos today, 672 was taken out of service with defective bells and some drivers were not used to applying the handbrake before opening the doors.
But all in all they are great vehicles, Though theres something different mechanical wise about them compared to the Tynedale Links Solos.

(30 Mar 2016, 10:47 pm)South Tyne Lad The Turbocharger is a lot higher pitched on the Indigo Solos for some reason ( The whistley sound ) Also the Engine itself is also more " Heard "
Though I'm not sure what causes it.
