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.

[Bob]

At Shrewsbury?

[646]

Yes 3696-9

[Wolves256]

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!
