select bus

No they don't - D&G have WA09 FHL.  Select still have WA09 FHK - it passed me on the 877 two hours ago

Sorry my typo. Got them the wrong way around. D&G fleet number 109 is indeed WA09 FHL

WA09FHK is NOT leaving Select Bus for D&G, the solo was painted here (all red) prior to going on loan to D&G, when it returns it will lose the fleet number of 9 and be renumbered

[mranon]

so does that mean the solo will end up in the select fleet eventually

Read my previous comment....

Read elsewhere that Select now have an Optare Solo M850 MX54KYF. Can anyone confirm this.

Saw this Optare Solo in full Select livery (with fleetnames) today in Walsall on rail replacement duties.

Im at the yard now and it's a solo free zone...

apart from this one

(It is actually on loan to Coastal Liner at the moment)

I do like solo's especially the ones at the former Midland company and I think MX54 will suit well on selects routes, especially the Stafford locals

I thought the various references on this and the D&G thread were to one Solo, but the Solo which is currently D&G 9 is MX54 KYE, whilst the one in full Select livery and names which Tony photographed with Coastal liner yesterday and was in Stafford today is MX54 KYF.

Yes, it Appears Select have purchased both, and are loaning them out to different operators at the moment

[Busman Jamie]

KYF is back at Select Bus and has been on Stafford Town all day

[BusMan Greg]

Will these new buses be fleet numbers 11 and 12

[Busman Jamie]

No idea, they could replace darts but not sure

[BusMan Greg]

TBH if they was to replace the darts I don't know why because they all seem to be in good condition although OHZ has broken down a few times recently

[Busman Jamie]

OHZ has been fine when I've had it? When did it last break down?

[BusMan Greg]

2 or 3 weeks ago.
