FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions

However, I bet they get everywhere!

Birmingham within a week

Yesterdays arrival was 64018 which was the one inside the depot over a pit. I've had a wander around and I can't find 64013 so I guess that hasn't been delivered yet.

I also notice 64043 is still parked at the top of the patch in the Solo area. That should have been the one I took on the photo shoot last Monday and it behaved perfectly all the way from the bottom of the patch to the entrance to the bus wash. Just like your favourite pet dog, it clearly didn't want a bath as it refused to go any further. Engine was running, it was going into gear, just not moving. Fault on the display pointed the finger at the fly-by-wire throttle module. It was pushed back on to the patch by hand (many hands required) and put in the first available bay. It hasn't moved since.

, does anyone have a picture of 64021 as I am wondering what a first generation citaro looks like in the nimrod livery

It's boxed in against the fence. Haven't been able to get close.

I saw a Mercedes operating the 30, sorry for the bad pic

You beat me to it!

Just came into the City from Bromyard and spotted the same one.

We were told they aren't taxed until 1st December, so either they have put their hand in their pocket and taxed one early, or someone has made a mistake somewhere!

I think that is the only one out today... The patch still looks very full wait parked Citaros.

Good spot!

I was expecting it to be a centro as it’s almost always a centro, but when I saw it coming up the hill I had the shock of my life , it was so beautiful

Does anyone have a picture of 64021 in the new livery as I am curious to see how the nimrod livery looks on an older citaro

Here is a picture I have just found on Flickr (Taken today) of 64021.
