Family run Coastal Coaches has taken delivery of the first three of a batch of eight new Optare Solos – adding to its existing all Optare bus fleet.
"We have run Solos for many years and have been extremely happy with their performance," comments Coastal Coaches owner Bill Holder.
"When it came to buying new vehicles, Optare vehicles were the obvious choice for us. The routes these vehicles serve are quite narrow in places so the slim line Solo is ideal."
The 7.9m Euro 5 slim-line Solos seat up to 27. The buses are named Master Luke, Master Liam and Miss Elvi, following a tradition of naming the buses after family and close friends.
