In
2010 Rotala struck a deal with Centro as they were known
at the time to operate a network of bus services in the
the Solihull area. Rotala created a brand known as
Signature for these services. The network of routes
included elements that were both tendered and commercial
but the whole premise of the network was that the
vehicles would be all built to a higher than normal
specification. This copied other initiatives around the
country like the Stagecoach Gold routes and featured
leather seats and WIFI for the passengers. To operate
one of the core routes the 82 from Solihull to Coventry
three Mercedes single deckers were acquired. With the
loss of the contracts for the Signature bus network in
Solihull from Sunday 24th February 2019 vehicle 30019
was withdrawn. 30401 had been withdrawn with mechanical
issues for a number of months.
