Nine "indiGo" branded Optare Solo SR vehicles were transferred to Peterlee Depot this morning. I'd originally intended to catch these in a convoy heading into the depot, but sadly I was unable to on this occasion. As such, I settled for a wide-angle shot of the depot instead, showing the transition between the yellow Mini Pointer Darts that remained and the pink Solo SRs that had arrived by noon.

You'll have a few hours tomorrow morning to catch the remaining five Mini Pointer Darts in service at Peterlee. These five vehicles will be replaced one by one at around 11:00am, and Go North East has invited enthusiasts along to take photographs of the old and the new together at Peterlee Bus Station. Until 11:00am, Go North East are holding a private photoshoot with a VIP guest (and the five vehicles being used at this photoshoot are 657, 660, 661, 664 and 666 - currently parked up at Deptford Depot until tomorrow morning). More information on the launch to follow tomorrow, but for now, a sneak-peak at a destination that will be used at the photoshoot...
