Give them a lick of paint and some leather and they'll be nicer than 90% of Arriva's fleetDepends very much on the solar you speak of. 54 reg ones are fine, but the older ones do start to show their age.
I've always liked the streetlites as a passenger and now as a driver so I'm a bit biased here. Solars are passable for both in most cases, however some of those 54 plate ones are some of the best buses I've touched.
