Welllll - just answering the query - rumour has it Solos are imminent for this route, it's well used, always seems packed and the mini-tanks used on it at the moment just aren't enough. Have to say, it's a nice route with a friendly atmosphere, too.

Further to my previous post and Blakey's enquiry, the MediLink is expecting Solos at some point this year, and these will be operated (like before) by Nottingham City Council and not NCT. NCT will be providing help with such things as paint work so on, so fourth.

Afternoon all

I saw a new Solo on the Ring Road on Wednesday evening, didn't catch the reg (it started YJ08)

It was in Medilink livery, but without all the vinyls.

I am sure that I have seen another Solo although no vinyls on it.  I think one ends in PHA and the other PHE!

The painted but unvinyled one I've seen 2 or 3 times is YJ08 PHA.

They've been using some plain white ones with MediLink vinyls on for some weeks now, there's at least 2 or three of them, I saw a MX56 plate one last night. I guess they're ex-demonstrator/loan until the new ones arrive .

On loan from Mistral Group.

What a good service this is though, very well used and good to see the passengers rewarded.l
