Don’t know, but I’d booked one for tomorrow morning to take on a photo shoot for the Marketing department. I had an email this morning to say that none were ready yet. The photo shoot has been put back in until Monday so let’s hope at least one of them is ready in time... and the fine weather holds!Birmingham_Bus wrote: ↑16:11 Monday 12th November 2018Any idea when they will be entering service ? Looking forward to seeing these on the 144, if the plan is still for some to be emission trapped for use into Birmingham City

Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions
I'm wondering if there be any kind of public promotional event for the 35, or for the refurbished Mercs in general ?

There is talk of a launch event but nothing has been decided yet. Or if it has been decided they haven't told me!
