I think iGo are one of the few British operators that are still prepared to put up with the junk that Optare continue to produce. A 67 plate vehicle off the road with a warranty issue for almost a week - ridiculous.

I think I'm seeing Optare in a new light now, after driving some Solos (both new and old).

MX57UPS in particular. Very good bus. YJ10MFV is another favourite.

I'm told by a friend who works for Optare that two further MetroCities and one Solo SR are due at Igo from dealer stock.

I thought the Metrocity was proving quite popular / excellent fuel economy, is that not the case? Transdev Blazefield also seem happy to replace repeat orders

From the passenger seat, Optare products introduced into the Midlands in the last year or two are rattle free, comfortable, nippy machines.

Granted I've always had a soft spot for Optare given Wolverhampton was full of them as I grew up. I know they're not many peoples cup of tea though.

The irony in your username is not lost on me here.....

I can see your point, but so far of all the ones delivered new to Igo this has been the only problematic one. Turned out to be an electrical fault with a wire that had been accidentally trapped during production/assembly that had caused a tiny break in the wire that was causing the random stalling as the bus was moving, the offending wire has now been removed and rewired/rerouted correctly.

No chance, not enough room in that depot for a bus. It'll either be Tay Rd or North operated.
