First have returned to the Harlow scene in a very small way, picking up the one-bus 347 service from 6th July 2009. As they have picked up a small number of other services in the Bishops Stortford area, this would appear to be very much a return to the pattern they abandoned to Excel six years earlier.

We're not yet certain whether the local allocation will be fixed or fluid, but will give some illustrations of vehicles seen operating on the 347 here. This page is in no way intended to reflect the very significant allocation of vehicles the company has around Essex.

Optare Solo A large fleet of Solos operates in Chelmsford. These would seem to be a suitable choice of vehicle for a service like the 347, which is rural, serves some narrow stretches of road, but carries passengers who will benefit from low floors.
