I am planning to come to Bangor soon to finish off the fleet of Optare Solos in the whole ABW/ANW fleet (I only need Bangors) where is the best places to get them as they can end up in other places

Best routes to check from previous observations:
Bangor: 53, 56, 57, 58 and the 67 series of routes also the 78.
Caernarfon: 82, 83, 91 (can stray occasionally onto 88)
Llandudno: Can appear on various Llandudno locals, inc those routes typically operated by the three Enviro200's

Remember Bangor like to keep Buses longer than anyone else, the Olympians for example

Realistically you may find one of each spread across each of these locations so be expected to look. You could ask at the office at Bangor clock as they can normally tell you the allocations.
