The first to be painted into York Park & Ride are 71080 (SK16 GUE) ISZ 7380 & 71090 (SK16 GUU) XIG 9290.
Guessing there's a nice bill coming for Optare/Switch/Ashok Leyland/Hinduja (or whoever the hell they are these days) and the Metrodecker's are finished.
Must admit I was never a big fan of Optare but it's shocking what the Indians have done to it. Makes the Chinese companies look like a Rolls Royce of the bus world in comparison.
