It looks quite good however the end of the bus where the little bit of yellow is.. to me it should be blue.

Where is the Optare factory again?

I've no idea why this is happening, but it won't when this update is rolled out.

Reliability is getting worse. Fingers crossed we get some changes to improve reliability on the route

Optare plc can be considered the successor company to the historical British bus manufacturers Charles H Roe (through Optare), founded in Leeds in 1923, and East Lancashire Coachbuilders, (through Darwen), founded in 1934 in Blackburn.
