Gateshead operator goes Solo with Optare20 February 2015

Gateshead Central Taxis has taken delivery of five Optare Solos for its first service bus fleet.

The vehicles are 9m-long, Euro 5 Solo SR buses, each seating up to 31 passengers.

This is the company's first venture into vehicles of this capacity, which will operate on routes around Gateshead on behalf of Nexus.

The low entry floor and front axle forward of the door allows for easy access to a flat lower saloon area, making the buses easily accessible for all passengers.

Scot Ryan, operations manager, says: "We look forward to a long working relationship with Optare and their support through these initial stages in our new venture."
