704 mx12kvw was at macclesfield today
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - R311 WVR - 22/07/2012 20:55
Thanks or the update Dave4jackie, I Guess they'll be waiting or the others to get rom Winsord Beore Entering Service?

Dear All,
Actually two further Optare Solo SR's are now at Arriva North West's Gaw End Lane outstation, joining 701 (MX12 KVT) that arrived earlier in the week.
They are; 703 - MX12 KVV and 704 - MX12 KVW
I understand it will be two or three weeks at least until the whole batch are delivered and they will then enter service together.

I have the feeling Arriva are registering everything in chassis number order these days, which could explain the odd orders of registrations and why there are batches of Optares in the middle of the Pulsars. I'm not 100% certain that's why but it looks likely.

A total of 8 new Optare Solo SR's have now arrived at Arriva North West's Gaw End Lane outstation near Macclesfield in readiness for the launch of the 'Silktown Links' network and replacement of ageing DartSLF/Pointer MPD's that have provided the service for several yaers now.
The Solo's on site this morning were;
701 - MX12 KVT
702 - MX12 KVU
703 - MX12 KVV
704 - MX12 KVW
706 - MX12 KVB
707 - MX12 KVC
708 - MX12 KVD
709 - MX12 KVE
Photographs HERE and HERE
All have their 'Silktown Links' branding as displayed on 709
Presumably the missing 705 is helping out down in London for the south eastern regional tiddly-wink championships or something?
RE: Arriva North West - Winsford Depot - DVL418 - 03/08/2012 22:03
Firstly, confirmation that one of the new Optare Solo SR's (705) is indeed helping-out at the Stratford East Snakes & Ladders championships.
Secondly, five of the long serving Dart SLF/Plaxton Pointer MPDs have been taken out of service;
857 (T527 AOB)
867 (X217 JOF)
869 (Y32 KON)
882 (Y42 TDA)
886 (Y46 TDA)

I understand most if not all had already departed by the end of today.
Anyone any idea where they are going to as a couple have only recently been MOT-ed I understand?
