Community Transport Calderdale are using second hand Solo YE52KPU
Anyone know if it is acquired or on loan?
It carries overall pink livery from it's previous operator
It is presumably a spare for YJ11ELC on it's services 258 & 906.

Have a feeling that TM Travel had this on loan a good while back (3-4 years ago?) and was metallic pink even back then. |

Metalic buses are very rarely painted by operators when aquired because the paint costs thousands and lasts a lifetime. Look at K-Line's Blue cadet
