L-R: 713 T713NOE, 7205 R408HWU, 685 S685YOL.
Ousted by brand new Volvo B7RLE's at Wolverhampton. these Optare Excels await thier fate at Miller Street garage in Birmingham. Probably to be shipped off to NXWM's infamous 'car park' storage site and stored till the scrap man calls.
685 and 713 were new to Travel West Midlands. 7205 was new to Travel London and came to the West Midlands via Travel Dundee.
Springfield also operated the Optare Excel on Easylink services, though these weren't part of the deal when First Manchester took control of the services in 2000.
I'm unsure where this and it's bretheren went after leaving Wigan but this one later turned up with Stagecoach, it being allocated with the rest of the groups Excels at East Midlands.
Wigan bus station is the location of R641MBV not long before the company called it a day on stage carriage work.

First Manchester inherited eleven Optare Excels from the slice of Timeline Travel that they took over [Arriva got the other slice!]. The former 218 is seen on Bolton's Moor Lane bus station having been repainted out of 'Tomato Soup' and into the livery adopted for vehicles that didn't confirm to First's standard interior, not that the travelling public would know this. The lower expanse of white would soon be wrapped in the 'Barbie Pink' fade out vinyls which cost an absolute fortune and quickly became shabby looking [even more shabby than your usual First operated vehicle that is!].
6606 would become 60145 in the new national numbering system and the bus now operates out of Wigan depot, which is currently on the 'hit list' of depots to be sold off in the big First shake up of its UK operations.

As far as my knowledge of recent Asian cars helped me to recognize this car I consider her as a Hyundai 1994-1997 Excel Type X3 from the first generation. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
This end-of-life vehicle has found a new destination as part of a piece of art. She is now in good company with the 'Banksy Pink Car' on the other side of this wall. Happily she regains respect...
Number seen: 1.

Stagecoach Chesterfield Optare Excel 35006 YN51VHP is seen on route 54 today. A sad day today, for some of us at least, as it is thought to be the final day of Optare Excels running in public service with Stagecoach. However all 6 are staying and being converted to Driver Training Vehicles, so they won't be vanishing completely for a little while yet!
Safeguard Optare Excel X307 CBT was out on Sunday duties today, seen here on the 5A.
