303 Scapegoat Hill and Huddersfield (Full Return Trip) Diversion Special* Optare Solo CabCam

The 303 is a lovely country run, a short trip but nevertheless absolutely beautiful views when you're driving down scapegoat hill. This video is a little different as on the way up we encounter a diversion from where one of our buses was sunken into the road by a water main failure; and then to top it off on the way back no-one told that milnsbridge is shut so I had to go the 301 Golcar way back to paddock then the 356 Longwood route back to town. Either way this was a a long diversion and after 4 round trips I was very late!
madness but I hope you'll enjoy this little video! Thank you!!

Lovely run and amazing video!! Got to say though I hate solos myself

[@leeallmak5373]

It does look lovely there mate must admit. Ah the trials of being a bus driver. Can see why they use the Solos on that route.

[@louiedupree3088]

Good vid

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

Flat cap passenger here. Was thinking you'd gone the wrong way out of the bus station until the mind kicked in that you're doing a Scape

[@YorksLancsTransportHub]

YT does not run 301 anymore and it is now ran by first and streamline

[@Stevenspielburger]

Good video! Can I just say something from a passenger perspective? Solos are cool - comfy, nice ride and bags of legroom.

[@davidstransportvideos]

Great video optare solos are gone from Brighton :(

[@b7rle]

and they are bad buses

[@davidstransportvideos]

Na their not they have that gear box that is cool

[@johnhall4917]

As a driver of 15 years, the Optare Solos have proven to be good buses. Fairly reliable (if fitted with 4.2l Mercedes engine) and smooth to drive.

[@StagecoachMANALX300]

Fabulous run and very scenic too! By heck, there's often streets where it's a really tight squeeze through eh?

[@YorksLancsTransportHub]

I really want 901 to be back with Yorkshire Tiger so you can do a cab drive.

[@alexsalisbury9704]

Can you video of Bus Drivers View of 1602 bus Fleet please Shaun

[@jacobbarnett395]

[@ConnorTransportSpotter]

Saw the bus in the hole on Facebook was it on your route or the 301

[@calvmatthews9064]

It was his but the 304 which turns off.

[@TheFlatCapBusDriver]

It was the 303 that sunk into the hole. Not the 304 :)

i feel sorry sitting in the cab of that rubbish solo

[@somethingpanda123]

optares are horrible machines, theyre fast, thats about it, the brakes take so much force to use, being on one of these all day will give you a stiff leg, even worse when you go from an optare to a low liner and slam the brakes because you can press the brakes with a toe on those
