My favourite bus type. I drive them occasionally with the company I work for. From 51 plate right up to 66 plate with various companies but the 08 plate Cummins powered M1020 Solos were the best....very quick acceleration, quite simply the fastest accelerating bus I've driven in my 19 years apart from the earlier Volvo B10Ms.
Phwoar!!! We do love a good old AT545 solo, brings back many a memory of the ones native to me down in Essex until a few years ago. Tis a shame there aren’t many AT545 ones left now in general!
bro u should be grateful they dont have terrible trolley sounding motors like the denis darts I would much rather have hastings crammed of optare solos then denis darts
The Cummins-Voith combinations usually have the 4.5l 4 cylinder engine like an Enviro 200 or Streetlite.
Yes it does love it ha ha
The Cummins voith sounded like an e200 not gonna lie
A very musical collection there!

Down in Southend we just get 6-pot Optare Versas doing the 9
Yes we do
They are nice buses, plenty in my area, and I know one has been put into the new stagecoach livery
The wirring sounds at 0:43 were mad
Any chance we could get one on Scania N series??
Euro 2 Tridents?
Fantastic video
i never knew that the cummins voith gearbox was on Solos aswell lmao (forgot to say i mean the 63 reg one)
Fantastic video!
YN56 AHY sometimes runs my local route with notts + derby
If youre looking for a good Merc Solo, Stagecoach 47333 which got moved to cumbria is loud as
0:41 I think I will downshift... WAIT too soon! ...Maybe now? ...To soon! ...How about now? ...To soon still! ...Now? ...There we go.
