Stephensons of Essex 325 (YJ58 PHO) in Mildenhall - 19 Aug 2022 (P1130066)

Friday 19 August 2022 (1059) – Stephensons of Essex 325 (YJ58 PHO), an Optare Solo M880SL new to Universitybus, Hatfield in November 2008, passing St. Mary's Church in Mildenhall High Street when working the 1020 Newmarket to Bury St. Edmunds service 16.

Normally larger single deckers or sometimes double deckers work this service particularly when schools are in session but today, at the height of the school holidays, at least two different Optare Solos were seen on the service which runs with three buses. This sighting prompted a quick snap just as the bus had pulled away after setting down incoming shoppers. So quick I nearly missed it!
