Trent Barton 506 (30.10.2021)

Back in 2014, Trent Barton took delivery of six new 63 plate Optare Solo SR's, all of which first saw use on the old Xprss route whilst the Optare Tempos were being refurbished for the newer Rushcliffe Greens route. The six Solo SR's then saw use with the Tempos on the new Rushcliffe Greens route before five were then branded up for the Rushcliffe Villager route whilst the Tempos were branded up for the Rushcliffe Mainline route. Three of the Solo SR's were then painted up for the Spondon Flyer route before one was then repainted and transferred to Kinchbus. As for this Solo SR here, this was repainted out of the Rushcliffe Greens livery and into the red spare livery and this could be seen originally with the old Mango advertising before then being given the new Mango advertising. Today saw it out on the Mainline route in place of a branded ADL Enviro 200 MMC, as illustrated here. 506 is seen in West Bridgford with a Mainline to Bingham.
