My mate has just seen a 14 plate solo (white and green) heading south on M1 around Northampton area. Sad init? I'v even got may mates Bus spotting! pmsl

PMSL........Very good!

Hi Mate. Yeah Im back and already booked my next trip to Spain 12-30 june. World cup! all the group stage matches and England and Spain last 16 matches, 52 matches in total to watch drinking cheap beer lol. Sorry for the confusion about being on the production line, I was joking! I was trying to imply that the shop floor was empty. ie no buses being built lol. Sorry. To be honest though, Im feeling a little more positive Due to the Ausy news and its looking good with Notts. I can see York ordering more too. my main concern is wrightbus though. take a read of this, its from 7th jan but def worth a read http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25621426

Sorry Turog you will have to hold the fort for next 12 days as im off to sunny Spain for some sun, Beer and an Optare free zone lol. newyorker can u guess where i was when i shouted Hellooooo?........yeah u guessed it right! Optares production line lol. Take care all and dont worry about Optare too much! I know I wont lol.

Sorry if this has already been posted. A little extract. The market for electric buses and taxis will multiply over 8 times in the next decade, approaching $60 billion not long after that.

Those pics are from 2008 so dont get too excited. If you want to find out about Optare products past and present just Wikipedia them.

surely if AL give quarterly reports within those reports there will be information on Optare's sales etc

I wander? we may be going to quarterly results. http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/result-poll/ashok-leyland-may-post-lossrs-170-crq3-poll_1027903.html?topnews=1

Has anybody heard any more on this so called "ground breaking" deal with Dawson's?

Stop being so negative! lol. you dont see me and mondo criticizing lol. Nozzla, the sooner the better on the de-listing as it will stop me pouring anymore of my hard earned money into here lol.

My thoughts entirely! Dont panic though because we wont have to wait long for more no news lol

Can't wait to see the design of the new D/D. Hope it's a stunner! 1 things for sure! Optare Buses do look the BUSiness! LOL. Amazing how a little rise can brighten you up lol.

Yeah you're right but 3 on offer is ok and should imagine they will be available with different specs. We could do with some good news over the weekend to send this baby north next week.

Me too.The report about the completion of the design of D/D is promising too. it quotes this in H1. " Completion of design stage of the new Double Decker product to be launched into the market in 2014"

I like this piece. Optare won orders in Australia for the whole single deck product range. http://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/ashok-leyland-s-uk-arm-bets-big-on-exports-113122000125_1.html

Yeah it was the shift pattern that interested me. although it shouldn't be a surprise with the amount of units going through the doors.

Don't think it will have any effect on the share price but it's something http://www.transportnewsbrief.co.uk/features/optares-efficient-new-uk-bus-production-plant/
