TM Travel W288EYG
TM Travel Optare Solo M850 W288EYG seen climbing away from Ulley Reservoir on the 10:05 ex Rotherham 20.
The 20 is a pleasing rural affair, operating from Rotherham to Dinnington via Whiston, Brampton and Thurcroft before performing a clockwise loop through Firbeck, Letwell, Gildingwells and Woodset and returning to Rotherham the same way as it runs out, repeating this every two hours. It is one of numerous Rotherham-area SYPTE-funded routes TM took over in July 2011 after Veolia decided they would stick with emptying bins. These are currently allocated late-life and rather dishevelled Solos.
The metropolis of Sheffield is easily identifiable in the distance together with its skyline features of the Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield University's Arts Tower, and the ridiculously-named Velocity Tower at the foot of Ecclesall Road. Further magnification also reveals the village of Dungworth on the edge of the Peak District and, for those with perceptive eyesight, traces of snow on Derbyshire's highest peak, Kinder Scout.
