Solo's in the short term then Versa's in the long term

Bob

Are Solo's going to be put on the 64/164?

646

No, it's just that Solos are moving from Wednesfield.

Some 64s have loading issues as it is.

Bob

What full size vehicles will be used on 64 then?

the trainbasher

They've got versas still at Shrewsbury haven't they?

Bob

Yea but theyre a midibus surely?  Lol

Bob

Although id imagine a Versa would make a quieter smoother trip end to end than any form of sb200

646

There are some 11.7 metre Versas.

Transferred from Oswestry earlier in the yaer and mainly used on route 1

Bob

Does route 1 need tjem though?  Cos if it does wont there be an issue if big buses are needed for the 64/164 as well

Lucky people of Shrewsbury! Think the demo's got full leather spec seats and looks very nice indeed, except for the loud orange livery. I'd like to see Arriva or anyone order some MetroCitys as they look a good product, more practical than a versa and with the nice interior you expect from Optare!
