It appears the brand new Solo SRs will be fitted with Next Stop Announcements and leather seating.

(22 Jul 2015, 3:04 pm)S813 FVK wrote It is also yet another brand which is similar to TrentBarton as they also have 'indigo' as a brand. Just shows the relationship between the two companies even more. I remember discussion about their relationship on the forum a while back.

Recently repainted Riverside-based Optare Versa V1110/Optare 8333 (NK11 HJV) has now received "Quaylink" branding - the purple variation for services Q1/Q2.

Riverside-based plain silver base liveried Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5329 (BJ10 VUO) has gained a rear advertisement for South Tyneside College:

(22 Jul 2015, 5:29 pm)Malarkey wrote As has 5310 (NK08 MXY), pretty pointless with this example as it will likely be repainted in the coming months anyway.
