 Transferred from Derby to High Wycombe was Solo SR 2509 (YJ58CCK) seen here about to dive down Corporation Street in July 2018 on its way to Micklefield - a change from Mickleover!
|
 |
 Earlier in that month it is seen in Frogmoor.
|
|
 In October it was surprising to see it on the 300 stand bound for Aylesbury.
|
|
 In Aylesbury in August 2019 Solo 2498 (YJ58PKC), new to MK Metro, is seen in Walton Court on the 9 town service to Stoke Mandeville Hospital. The 9 service was pioneered by Red Rover as "LINKLINE". Arriva sustained prolonged competition on the service from Red Rover's spiritual successor Red Rose. When Arriva closed Aylesbury depot in 2024 Red Rose had the route to itself.

 The Solo was seen again in July 2021 on the trunk 500 service between Aylesbury and Watford, often home to Enviro400 doubledeckers. When Aylesbury depot closed the route was worked out of Hemel Hempstead depot but 2025 saw the long standing service withdrawn leaving the Watford road to the Red Empire.
