Mulleys Motorways YJ57 YDB in Bury St. Edmunds - 30 Apr 2025 (P1200909)

Wednesday 30 April 2025 (0956) – Mulleys Motorways YJ57 YDB seen on Prince Charles Avenue, Bury St. Edmunds when working Town Circular service M44.

It is a 10.2 metre long Optare Solo new to Peterborough City Council (#600) in December 2007. The Council began a small scale bus operation in 2007(?) in order to operate a number of regular bus services which could not be run viably by a commercial operator thus requiring Council subsidy. On July 1 2011 this operation was transferred to Enterprise Peterborough, a partnership created by the Council with outsourcing contractor Enterprise. In 2013 it was decided that these bus services, branded ‘Local Link’, would again be contracted out and Stagecoach in Peterborough became the chosen bidder.
