Hey Anthony, another great video! do you have any idea when Blackburn are going to retire their B10s? Because I hope to ride them sometime soon

@anthonyleecooke 6 ай бұрын

Hello good question I don't really know. But I would Hazard to guess that is not far off. One of them had been parked up at the back of yard recently and on the 4/22 more opters and bl7 have been doing the routes. I would of thought once Harrogate get it's new buses and Rochdale closes then they might start to replace them.

b10s are nice but really glad optare versa (and if im right i saw the odd solo there to) are still being used, we got rid of % of yours in my town as the silly company sold theres off. there cute nimble busses that i enjoyed going on.

The Solo don't run anymore in our town and I'm Really gutted as i've been able to drive on. Maybe when the do a fleet update we might get some more if the routes are tight but I know a few drivers who love the little solo's

@@anthonyleecooke awww man that sucks. they were so amazing. they were the best medium size busses (used to go on them smaller shopper busses from 99 with my gran so ive been on smaller) but the solos were my main childhood. they were connection to colledge after secondary school and most of my childhood i just got a day ticket for the sake of it and rode to the end of the line, wonderful memories on them solos. miss em but sadly i cant turn back the clock or put myself in a time loop. just glad i manadged to see you drive one for a bit. very awesome to see some are still in the uk.
