In total, 10 of these Optare Solos had been commissioned by a client. The photos shown here are of 7 of them, these wore the names 'Stephenson Fountain' whilst the remaining 3, not shown, were named 'Serre'.
Artwork such as the Rural Links logos and name text were supplied by the graphics company who supplied Yorkshire Terrier with the artwork for the real buses. Paint I obtained from the supplier who supplied Yorkshire Terrier.
The full sized buses are owned by SYPTE but were operated by Yorkshire Terrier, now Stagecoach Yorkshire. All the buses that were operated in the Rural Links livery wore names of people or places significant to South Yorkshire. |
