Optare buses


Medway's Optare Solos

Arriva have now branded these as the "Capstone Flyer". Which despite what they would like you to belive, the 113/114 route is now slower than it used to be using these ultra slow buses. plus the route is no longer a nice loop, which was usefull for connecting different places.






OH NO, someone has been run over!.....

Just kidding. He is actually a mechanic trying to repair a broken down optare solo in Chatham bus station.
