(23) Weird Engine.. Stagecoach Cumbria And North Lancs Optare Solo SR: YJ14 BVL - Route 60

Well.. Here we are! The last of the Carlisle videos. After riding the e200 in the previous video, I was in Carlisle, And was about to head home. However, I herd that there was a track blockage at Penrith North Lakes at that point in time, Meaning mass cancelations. Therefore, I decided I'd do one more route before heading home. After looking for a notable vehicle to ride, Unfortunately I came up dry. The Optare Versa route had already ended for the evening, and the on loan from Keswick lakes e200 was last tracked 12 minutes ago, So I decided to just test my luck and wait for something to come along. Eventually, This CrossPennine liveried Optare Solo SR arrived on the 60, Unusual, As it's normal route is the 685, Hence the branding. Also something of note, It didn't have a normal solo SR engine type, Instead, It appears to have a similar engine to Stagecoach's Dennis Darts, Which was really weird. However, It was a nice one to ride, So, Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------ JOURNEY INFO: Vehicle: Optare Solo SR - YJ14 BVL (47921) Service: 60 - Carleton Clinic - Sandsfield Park https://bustimes.org/services/60-carl...
