The ad I saw was a blurred picture on Facebook but I think it was just one.

Minsterley Motors now have 5 new 11.5m Optare Metrocity buses.

They are the following vehicles.

YJ65 EVT
YJ65 EVU
YJ65 EVV
YJ65 EVW
YJ65 EVX

It is good to see that the Optare Metrocity is becoming a popular vehicle with bus operators. It is certainly a very nice vehicle. It is probably one of my favorite types of buses. Although it was originally designed for London TFL bus operators however far more have now been purchased for operators outside of London. It would be good if Optare started to make an 8.8m version of the Optare Metrocity.
