The Bus Service that Never Was
At the request of the developer of Chester City Centre Cheshire County Council leased 4 Optare Solos from Mistral in 2007 for operation on a City Centre shuttle under contract to First. Also at the request of the developer these were painted Black by Optare.
Due the the recession the redevelopment didn't, and still hasn't happened and the service never started.
The four Solos MX57CCZ, MX57CDE, MX57CDF and MX57CDK were all stored at the City Council depot in Bumpers Lane until local miscreants started to show an interest, they were then moved to the County Council depot at Milton Green where they are seen on 30 May 2008 after approximately 8 months storage
