Has Team Pennine Optare Solo 172 been refurbish as bustimes.org says it is in Team Pennine livery and everytime I try to change it back to Yorkshire Tiger people keep rejecting it? If it has been refurbished please can someone send me a photo as there is nothing on flickr. It has been in service near enough everyday for the last month, according to bustimes. I don't think it is possible to fully refurb a vehicle in a day or two 👍

So it was just two numptys rejecting my fleet edit to put the vehicle back in to Yorkshire Tiger livery.

Team Pennine Volvo B7RLE Wright Eclipse 2 has 1716 - DX12 OWC has re-entered service with Team Pennine and seems to contain a new Team Pennine rear advert and motto too "amazing teams bringing you amazing buses across Calderdale and Kirklees. Photo here at: www.flickr.com/photos/192931874@N05/52404561199/in/photolist-2nQP5ieCredits to Yorks and Lancs Transport Hub for helping me find out about this.

I think your forgetting the Arriva liveried Optare Solo. So I can assume the replacement solos SRs left to arrive are 165, 196 and 197 which should replace the last of the Solos 169, 185 and 186. However I do think the Versas may end up being refurbished in the near future.

Versas of such an age as 201 have previously been disposed of.

Here's the thing the Eclipse 2s already replaced a handful of Solos plus Cadet 1224. There are 3 vehicles to Arrive for Team Pennine which is 196, 197 and 166 which are replacements for 169, 185 and 186 but there is literally no other vehicles which means the Versas would stick around for a while longer. Also it would be a pretty stupid decision to get rid of the Versas as they are one of the few vehicles that seem to cope well with the South Pennine hill climb up to Blackstone Egde.

You aren't obliged to believe me - though I am confident in my source. I suppose you will have to wait and see!

Conflicting reports that 201 is now withdrawn some say yes and some say no !
