(18 May 2016, 8:53 pm)S813 FVK I'd much rather have a Solar over a President, too but I think it was said that the B7s were allocated over the solars was because of the shorter wheelbase for getting around the estates? If so, I think that's another reason why Solars wouldn't be suitable for the routes (not suggesting for one second that they can't operate the routes as they have in the past).
Hmm Classic seemed to cope no problem with running them B10BLEs around Barley Mow Estate a few years ago. Going further back I think Go-Ahead Gateshead had Optare Sigmas going around the place too.
