Presumably the extra single-decker is needed because of the new S5 service (?)
(until the October service cuts !)

Its on loan whilst another vehicle, I think it is one of the grey Citaros, is away for exhaust modification.

Looking on the bus tracker, it shows 64014 as out of service whereas both the grey ones are in service (today), -- could it be possible that THIS (old) Citaro is being converted to Euro6 ? -- or was one of the others done very quickly ?

64014 had been off the road with an ongoing and frustrating handbrake problem. It's now sorted.
