Veggie Solo - 1
In 2010 Pembrokeshire County Council received funding to purchase a pair of 7.8m Optare Solos - YJ60 LRL & LRN - which could run on both vegetable oil and diesel. These were operated by Silcox of Pembroke Dock on the contracted town services in Haverfordwest in a white and green livery and marketed as "The Little Green Bus".
When Silcox ceased trading in June 2016, both of the Solos passed to Edwards Brothers of Tiers Cross for continuation of the contracts. YJ60 LRL subsequently moved on to Brown of Builth Wells, and then in June 2023, she was purchased by Bridgend-based Peyton Travel, who presumably run her only on diesel.
Peyton's only local bus operation is Service 861 (Nottage,-Porthcawl-Trecco Bay-Newton-Happy Valley Caravan Park), which operates just between 0900 and 1320, and this is the Solo's home. Unfortunately, she is used in an all-white livery and devoid of fleetnames, as illustrated in this November 2025 shot taken on The Portway as she heads for Nottage.
