According to Wikipedia, out of production since 2010 and 2.4m wide, so a bit old and a bit too wide.
They are also horrifically unreliable which is why many are in scrapyards!

Wright StreetVibe, assuming it is still built?

It's a little unclear, but it looks like some badge engineering. It is actually a Nu-Track product. That company was owned separately by Jeff Wright and did not go into administration. It's a NuVibe when sold as a welfare vehicle and a StreetVibe when sold as a bus.Wright StreetVibe, assuming it is still built?

What about second hand 29-seat E200's on a temporary basis for now? They're well known for excellent reliability !
Yes they would.Wouldn't they also be 2.4m wide and so wider than a Slimline Solo?????
If you have any concerns to do with prices, Mellor have a price comparison on their website for the StrataHi all,
Thank you for your suggestions, we are going to inquire into the Strata in the new year. Possibly requesting a demonstrator. This will be for 2 diagrams on the narrowest roads. We will run 8.7m? E200MMCs/E200s from either new or recently acquired on the routes with wider roads.
Thank you all for your suggestions.
A small amount of data is provided on the Nu-Track website. It gives the width as 2.28mpossibly the Wright Streetvibe (for which little to no information seems to be available)
Getting hold of spares is a pain its hit and miss with solo srs.They are also horrifically unreliable which is why many are in scrapyards!
The main problem with the Primo was the amount of vibration from the engine and gearbox plus the 6 the company I drive for bought proved to be unreliable.Sadly no longer built but would a Plaxton Primo be up to the job, even if second hand? I'm not a driver but as a passenger they are comfy and spacious.
That's a real eye opener seeing one of those again, especially when the picture was taken in my home town. If I recall, Hornsby had two, the one in the picture and one with a slightly different livery and slightly more comfortable seating.Sadly no longer built but would a Plaxton Primo be up to the job, even if second hand?
