Plain white Optare Solo SR (looked like a 14 plate?) in Stourport today, going along route of the 15. Is this a new Coniston vehicle?

Probably not tbh it could possibly be a loan vehicle as the yellow Solo one was involved in a minor bump the other day with a Honda Jazz at the Comberton Hill roundabout

I noticed that yesterday at first I thought it was the ex-Yellow Buses Solo had been painted White then I did a car check on X165NWR and that reg number no longer exists

Coniston have owned this Solo for well over a year now but it is usually only used on school work that's why it is still plain white but in the last few weeks it has started getting on the 15 more frequently I have a photo of it on my flickr page.

Have Coniston acquired a Wright bodied bus, 51 plate? Seen it around Stourport a couple of times over the past week. Was not on the 15 - school contract?
