*Awesome little machine!* Go Bus 2801 YJ59GFG Mercedes engined Optare Solo on route 477

Here we see Go Bus 2801 YJ59GFG, a Mercedes engined Optare Solo. This bus was new to Kent Coach Tours in September 2009. In 2011, it would move to Go Bus. After Go Bus gave up the 280 and 283 contracts in 2014, it would move to Arriva Kent and Surrey alongside the routes, receiving the fleet number of 1500. In 2017, it would return to Go Bus when the company would return to operating the 280 and 283, and would be given the fleet number of 2801. In August of this year it would be given a slight refurbishment, with it gaining a fresh coat of paint. This has a rather high spec interior, with leather seating and some very comfortable headrests, alongside seatbelts. Being the SE variant of the M780, it has a single-piece door instead of a double-piece door. Overall this is one of the best Solos I have been on, and it was an awesome little machine.
