FMR: Solo 53051 repainted

Photos of this newly repainted bus were posted to the old forum, but I need to test the posting functions so here's another...



Taken just outside Bromyard before the early service 420 to Worcester.

Since the allocation of Optare Solo minibuses at Worcester has dwindled recently, the opportunity for a duty on local services in a minibus is becoming much more of a rarer occurrence for me. When 53051 was my allocation on July 12 for a duty on Services 30 and 31, I had a prime opportunity to photograph her in her new guise.

Rather impressed that the interior was treated to a retrim.

Still yet to drive 53049.

Looks likes differing choices with the interior trim. 53049 and 53051 both have the cloth style shown in your photograph, while the first one finished 53044 has the newer style.

Unfortunately 53049 and 53051 haven't had their hand rails refurbished either, so they still look a bit tatty in places.

I see you've lost two to First South west also.

[AdamH]

They went in May.
