Worcester's Solos

[AdamH]

Does Worcester still run Optare Solos? If not, where (and when) did they go?

Thanks.

There have not been any Solos used for some time now , not sure of the exact dates. I am not sure if there are any Solo's left rotting away on the patch either. It also looks like the Citaro's and Centro's are slowly diminishing too.

Shows how long it is since I last paid a visit!

Hi Adam

The 2 29 seat Envro 200s put an end to Solo operation at Worcester

The last 2 Solo's were withdrawn on 28th October 2022

Out of interest I had a look in my old notes and found these.

53044/47/48/49/50 disposed June 2019
53051 disposed August 2019
53061/62 disposed January 2022
53065 disposed March 2023
53207 disposed December 2022
53802 disposed March 2023

My notes are not clear about 53155 being a Worcester bus but if so it was disposed in July 2020.

Thanks, and welcome to the forum.

I used to quite enjoy driving the Solos.
Just like a big car really, small size and the car-like gar selector plus the small-ish steering wheel and they would shrink around the driver nicely.
