Arriva Optare 3699 in New Park Road, Shrewsbury.

An Optare Spectra the most common type with Arriva at Shrewsbury along with Solo's heads down New Park Road. I think we probably tend to take too many photos in the more obvious places so I like to have a camera with me when I'm just walking from A-B as it's always good to have varying views although I admit they can't all be exactly interesting. A herd of wild buffalo came charging down here five minutes earlier but sadly I just missed it lol. The number 3699 suggests a Midland Red S12 but that one was at Hartshill, Dudley and Evesham, but 3696-8 were all allocated new here; ah those were the days!

  1. It's an Optare Versa. The Spectra was a double deck model but I don't think any are left in mainstream service.
