The only Optare Excel that is still operating out of Trentbarton's Sutton Depot 261 Y261 DRC, is seen near Nottingham City Hospital working the 141 on 05-08-16.
A surprise at a very local show, another Excel.I didn't get to catch the owner at this time, but he is now a friend.
A very tidy example, with a few individual touches and modifications.

Optare Excel T714NOE is seen approaching Wolverhampton bus station on 24/03/09.
It looks to have been recently re-painted, which would have been welcome given how scruffy a lot of the Excels looked around this time.
The slot for the fourth Olympian on service 1 turned out to be filled in by this Excel, 216 (T216 HCW), which is (I believe) the last remaining native example in the fleet - there are others from Go-Ahead and Reading still in use. I don't know if this was just done for some variety, or if this one is about to be withdrawn as well, but it was certainly turned out nicely for the event.
This Optare Excel dates from 1997 and was one of the first five low floor buses to arrive in Malta.
It is seen in March this year on a school journey in Pembroke

I sometimes make these quick 'n dirty gantt charts in Excel. You can download the templates from my website.
After the Delta, came the Excel. Although another futuristic design, the bus wasn't as popular as it should have been. Trent were good Optare customers, so bought the Excel. 194 (V194DRC) is in the famous, and recently demolished, Derby Bus Station on 20 March 2000.

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.

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!
