Yea , remember the x90, hated those Optare spectra’s moulded things, especially on the x94.
Yea the x91/x97 was roughly mid 90’s, remember doing training at felling, and afterwards walking down to the bus stop on felling bypass as both served the bus stop and had bus numbers stickers on the plate sign, just wished the drivers knew that the service stops there, as the x91 driver didn’t stop and looked puzzled, then the x97 arrived and had to jam its brakes on to stop, and the Redby driver didn’t realise the service stopped there, probably really didn’t pick many up along there while it was operational.
