Optare Solo SR

The Optare Solo SR is a single-decker bus in Canterbury and District.

Trivia

 * Compass did once have a CSG version of the longer Solo SR until it got completely replaced by the baby length version.
 * It initially trialled with a Premiere Transport livery, but was changed to a normal Compass livery after the trial was successful.
 * This was the first non-coach bus in 2021 to have a single-flap door instead of a dual-flap one (which means that they don't have two sides but only have one) like almost all other buses have.
 * Before V4.1 relaunched without the door, blinker, engine and GUI click sounds, back in V4, it used to have a door sound made specifically for this bus.
 * This was the first bus in a long time to have a different door sound after all buses were made to have the same door sounds, despite being replaced with a different one when it was meshed.
 * This was the very last update to V4 before V4.1 finally relaunched, which added the CanterburyCity livery.
 * hhwheat, the initial creator of the bus, has been assisted by raging_psycho at making the mesh version of the Solo SR. Croydon currently has two variants; the dual door version for Go-Away London (a default company) and the baby-sized single-flap door version for custom companies.
 * Canterbury now has it in Compass & CanterburyCity liveries, with Compass having both the baby-sized version, and also the longer version (dual-flap, single-door), which, other than Bluestar, Apsley Reds and Stagecoach South (Merthyr), which is a supplier for Stagecoach liveries, is a version that no other company could ever get their hands on.
 * So far, Canterbury has had the 2 pre-existing variants meshed, however, the Bluestar livery is still not ready yet.
 * Upon the release of the mesh version, the speed bumped up to 90 MPH, making it the the first and so far only bus to go this fast, despite the Strata holding the title for the fastest bus in-game.
 * The mesh version is also the first ever bus without a sliding or outward-swinging door to ever have door sounds and blinkers on the dashboard despite there being no sound.
