Surprised some prefer them, guessing pensioners no doubt? Can't think of anything worse and that's coming from someone who can't stand Solo's.
Mind that said, has anyone ever bought them for a commercial service, I'm struggling to think of any tbh? The Salisbury ones mentioned after I believe are all subsidised routes aswell. The last buses I can really think of with a major operator is the Vario's Arriva got out of a field and they were bloody awful aswell.
New for services in the Macclesfield area, just standard Arriva spec for the time, Civic V2 seats and USB ports, Arriva Click had Sprinters.
No-one else is really coming to mind for buying Stratas brand new for commercial service work, it's nearly all on supported services.
