Optare Tempo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Optare Tempo is a full-size single-deck bus manufactured by Optare and was launched in late 2004. It is marketed and sold as the replacement for the Optare Excel.

Amongst the first operators in the UK were Trent Barton of Nottingham, Wilfreda Beehive of Adwick-le-Street, Doncaster, and Sargeants Brothers of Kington. Stagecoach and Arriva are two of the big groups to have taken some on board.

The Welsh Assembly Government purchased several for use on the TrawsCambria bus network, despite protests about the unsuitability of a normal bus for the long distance journeys.
