Optare Solos

[Liberator9]

Which Solo is better, the SR or Classic and why? I prefer the classics from 2009 onwards. The SRs in Solihull are not too good. Shaky, noisy and have door and engine problems, even struggling up hills. The Norfolk Coasthoppers (went on holiday this week)are the same age (2010/2009) and are brilliant. no rattling despite country roads, speedy and sound excellent. Even had wooden effect flooring and excellent murel on the back of local areas. The bus was also on time both times which helps ;) The one I went on was YJ10 EYB, http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=YJ10EYB&m=text. So which do you prefer and what operator is it?

The classics for me, I love the way they sound, if you like them, you should use midland services, they have quite a lot of Solos, I was on one the other day with high backed seating
