188 was the best one. went like a scolded cat! would fly up weston mill hil on a 16 on 1/4 throttle at 35 and still have more in reserve. sadly now scrapped by wigan coachways
What happened to the Solos CityBus had back then? Who were they sold to? Remains to be seen how long they hold on to the former Western Greyhound buses as Optare Solo aren't a popular bus when they go wrong! Pete.
