Translink Metro 807

My first photo of the year, and Metro 807 is captured on Donegal Square West boarding for an early morning 6d to Newtownbreda (Tesco). With 2019 finished (and my Year in Review also finished - available here: https://bit.ly/36H67Ag) thoughts now turn to what 2020 might bring.

One potential may be the end of the Solar in the Metro fleet. Remaining numbers took quite the hit in 2019, and with just over 10 still in service, it would be easy to see another order of Streetdecks finishing off this batch for good this year.

Note the malfunctioning display on this example.

807 is a Scania L94UB with Wright Solar bodywork, new to Citybus in January 2004.
