Both batches of Optare Versa vehicles in the fleet at present have experienced issues, you maybe aware of the power problems when climbing hills. There have also been issues regarding electrical faults within the driver cab, subsequently dealt with by Optare.
I know that Transdev York had problems with their Versa's on the long-distance 'Coastliner' services, so I doubt that the Versa's will move on to 'Diamond' services.
