Solent Blue Line has eschewed the more common Mercedes minibuses in favour of Ivecos. Locally
a series of coachbuilders has come and gone and come again under the trade names of Robin Hood
and Phoenix, amongst others. Financial failure has been rife, and it may be that Blue Line
has profited from it by acquiring some bargain vehicles - even if, on occasion, as here
with 243 (M243KPO), the body styles are a little out of the ordinary. This body is by
European Coach Conversions.

252 (M252BPO) is a more conventional Iveco, with unusual Mellor coachwork, seen here on
service into Eastleigh.

|
An unusual vehicle is this Alexander Strider bodied low floor Volvo B10B saloon
being checked over in Eastleigh Bus Station.

Solent Blue Line established its Southampton operations with a large fleet of VRs. Now in its final years, XJJ668V, a former East Kent bus, is seen basking in Southsea sunshine in the summer of 2003. |
