Photographs by Oliver Foreman
Pictured on their first day of service (Saturday 17 October 2009) in Matlock, Derbyshire are Optare Solo's MX59 AVP, MX59 AVR & MX59 AVT. The buses have not yet had external lettering applied. They are to be branded HALLMARK for the Matlock town services. Thanks to Andy Bagshaw for informing the photographer where and when to find them, and for his cooperation while the photographs were taken.
