Select Bus Services 12 - YJ15 AAU

            As referenced earlier, the Bridgnorth bus scene is also populated by independent bus firm Select Bus Services, based over in neighbouring Staffordshire and operating services here presumably on contract to Shropshire County Council. I've heard... well, misgivings, to put it lightly, about the 'red buses' here, but I'd argue they're certainly more reliable than one of their competitors! Their operation of the 297 to Kidderminster, so it seems, is on the hour every hour, with buses laying in wait at the nearby coach park until their run is up. Annoyingly, Wednesday night's run of the 297 coincided with the schools preparing to kick out, meaning this unusual Optare integral was hemmed in among the neighbourhood school bus fleet. I wouldn't have such difficulty this morning, though!

One of four of this unusual Optare type ran by this operator, Select Bus Services' 12, a 2015 Optare MetroCity new to APH (Airport Parking and Hotels) for services at London Gatwick Airport, later being sold to the erstwhile Go Goodwins, is seen parked between services at Bridgnorth's town coach park. It later surprised me that night by working a 297 to Kidderminster that went straight through Northgate arch!
