RE: Scarlet Band Motors - BusLoverMum - 04 Aug 2015
Spotted a Y red solo on the 58, this morning. In the cream and red Scarlet Band livery.
It did not sound or look happy about it. The journey that is. It wasn't even on the steepest part of its route.

I know the one you mean, I had it on the 33 the other week and it sounded pretty rough.

A new addition at Scarlet Band is Optare Solo SR KX14FHT - no idea if it's been bought or is just a loan.

Several things wrong with that. The mix of white and black above the windows and secondly, THE NUMBER IS ON THE WRONG SIDE!!!!!

You can see the remains of the 'Malta Public Transport' logo on the black part.

I noticed both of these when I saw it and they both annoy me, other than the Durham Park and Ride Solo SR's pretty much all of Scarlet Band's buses have the service number on the incorrect side, why I don't know!

I'll let them off with that one
The Scarlet Band logo could at least be placed on the front of the vehicle though.

I reckon it might be a warranty cover from Optare but I could be wrong.
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - jaimzm - 17 Sep 2015
Y236LRR Optare Solo was on 58 this Morning and yesterday MX55WCZ Green Solo was on 58

I'm going to hazard a guess these will have both been on the extra morning working of the 58 which then drops onto the 110/111/112 circuit after it arrives in Durham, I saw green Our Bus branded Solo in Woodham working the Newton Aycliffe schools service 879 yesterday afternoon which also runs off the 110/111/112.

Yep, I didn't notice either through the day. I'm usually alerted to something different than the usual E200s by the engine noise up the hill!

Solo YJ06YRE has now been repainted into the standard livery.

I went to Malta recently and I could swear I saw it
The Quaylinks have that problem mainly 8310-8318
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - BusLoverMum - 02 Oct 2015
The new-ish solo from Malta has been doing the rounds on the 58 for the past few days. Big'un has been obsessively keeping track of it, of course.
RE: Scarlet Band Motors - jaimzm - 05 Oct 2015
Optare Solo SR KX14FHT was on the service 58 this morning was on round about 8 38 am in hartlepool

Seems to have become a fixture. That's 4 or 5 days in a row, now.
Though MX10 DXL has been back on the 58 for the first time in a while.

I must use it at some point!!!!!
I used it creepily in Malta, the DDA laws about destination displays I don't think are very harsh

Well NX55 FFS (how apt) is trundling around the 58 route, today. The rear (roller) blind is displaying 16, with a bit of the 9 showing.
