If I'm using the D&G 88 route I hate it when I see a Streetlite filling in for the usual Solo SRs. The ride quality along the poorly surfaced B5085 is much worse than travelling on buses on poorly surfaced roads in countries officially categorised as developing countries.

WSV551 is now repainted front, back and skirts in a light purple colour (remainder in yellow) which is very similar to the Manchester Storm overall livery used on the excel with the same reg in the past.

It's the new livery for the schools vehicles that previously had the LG front end however the other 2 done so far WSV541/552 carry fleet blue.

What's happened to the little gem solos? Seems diamond bus have bought them.
Or have goodwins gone under??? I've seen a few of their buses knocking about but now with diamond branding on them.

More than likely sold along with it’s sister and the X reg. Diamond didn’t want them.

I saw one of these in all dark blue livery in Eccles yesterday late afternoon.
When I first spotted it from a distance, I hoped it would belong to Diamond and work route 293! Diamond buses are of course often dark blue.
