Light Blues on the 10 again



Solo 292 loads a solitary passenger at Midgeland Road/School Road junction

Something of a 'what might have been' occurred yesterday with the use of light blue liveried Solo 292 on route 10. 292 is the last of eight Solos to carry this livery - the other seven (286-291/3) are all in the new livery though 286/7 also carried Line 2 green for a period. The Solos were purchased for Lifestyle Line 16 in 2007 but prior to this the line colour was used for the one bus Line 10 operation. This was a unique example of a route colour swapping routes - discounting the merger of the 26 and 2 in 2002. Metrorider 593 was the dedicated bus for the 10 from December 2005 to March 2007.
