Optare Solos on the road!

Yes this is quite a shocking photo I know, but this is being done for bragging rights. I haven't yet seen a photo of one of them in services so hopefully fingers crossed I'm the first. So here is VU52 UEE on a 43B. The Citybus livery does look pretty good on the Solos I must admit. Strange though that they are being used on the core services. They aren't exactly high quality buses, and they seem to make a right racket compared to the FDC Solos. But there we go. Will be interesting to see what they do finally make it onto full term.
