30 january 2014 - Monks Road, Lincoln. Soon after purchasing the Lincolnshire RoadCar business along with the Traction Group, Stagecoach set about a fleet renewals program. One of the first batches to arrive included this Optare Solo, of the unusual maximum length M1020 variety. In 2011 Stagecoach used this batch of vehicles to experiment with bio-methane power, which they were converted to run on. The cost of conversion was covered by Lincolnshire county council and the East Midlands Development Agency.
