They're cracking on with them, now. That just leaves DXK in white. Probably the one most in need of the repaint.

A fairly recent addition to the Scarlet Band fleet is Optare Solo W7 JPT.

Wow! I'm surprised to see this back up and running. It has been sat in Gardiners for years.

I was surprised when I got on it in Ferryhill and discovered it had bench seats!

I've known for a while that they acquired another Solo and it was running around in white but I had no idea it was this one, today was the first time I've seen it so had to get a photo.

Rather odd them buying that one but selling a newer one.

This is just what a friend told me. Can't confirm whether it happened or not.

And Scarlet band had some of the muckiest buses I'd ever seen, today. According to the driver of the 85, purely "keeping it simple"

I wouldn't mind, but i couldn't see the rear numberplate on that vehicle at all, until I got really close (it was FFR, it turned out) so they could find themselves in trouble with the boys in blue if they're not careful.

Oh yeah I see some of them and it makes Scarlet band look bad having buses that dirty in service.
