More new buses
A couple more new buses for us at Metro, More Solo’s to add to the loads we have already, But these are different as they are “Slimline” versions…. They are slightly weird looking to me, compared to a normal Solo anyway!

Richard: I’m not sure it’s officially the end of MK Metro as a Name/Brand, But buses now seem to arrive in/go for repainting into ARRIVA National Livery.

these are to go with a new gov scheme to slim the nation. Basicly, no fat cunts, if u dont fit thru the reduced gap, you cant get on, and have to walk till u do. For some of MK that could be a fair old while

Neil: To be honest I don’t know why…. But after 10 years of no investment in new buses at my old garage I’m not gonna complain about all the investment in MK of late

I’ve seen one of these flying past the tempory coachway in campbell park. They do look strange in slim form. Good to see arriva investing in mk.
