not good that 2 buses 42941/44 that came to Manchester engined up with new engines with 44 been the loudest nowEngine is knackered I’ve been informed by a driver friend.
There was a long, green-coloured single deck vehicle (sorry to be so imprecise!) on the T1 this p.m. peak as I pulled my car away from Morrison's car park. I don't know whether Truro bus services were affected by the partial closure of Truro town centre from before 10 a.m., which I believe lasted several hours, owing to an armed raid on a jeweller. Hayle By-Pass was also closed because of an accident middayish which always brings traffic chaos in Hayle.Dennis Trident 33172 in Atlantic Coasters 'A5' livery made a rare appearance on the Tinner route, when it worked the 10:35 T1 service from Truro bus station to Penzance bus station

I’m currently sat on the demo Optare decker on the 1505 departure from Tremougg to penzance.
It’s got a nice engine tone, seats lack cushion. I’ll report back later on full opinion!
Optare Metrodecker?So the Optare thing... here comes my views.
Great thrashy engine and loud, like the olden days, it felt like it was shifting at good speeds, Seats lack padding,
Very airy with the larger window space.
Is it longer than a mmc, the driver appeared to struggle to get it round the tight corners at Praa Sands, or Maybe down to wheelbase.
Overall I preferred it to the MMCs, spec it the same with WiFi and usb and better cushion padding and for me it would be a winner.

I think so!Optare Metrodecker?
Did you find out how the seating capacity compares to a E400MMC?
Secondly did you ask the driver for any comments on the bus?
I caught the 13:30 T3 from Truro College to the bus station yesterday and it was the usual Tinner bus and the other T3 was also a Tinner, so the Solo probably wasn't on the T3 route unless something went wrong later on in the day but haven't seen anything to say it did. The T1/T2 services have seen the unusual buses such as a Uni MMC, Trident and East Lancashire Lolyne but the T3 has just seen Tinners all weekQuite a few replacement vehicles on T1/ T2 services recently. I was told there was a Solo on service T3 yesterday. Unusual If true.
Rail replacement weekend, so many Tinners "gone North" for the replacement.Dart 42946 on service T1.
