Here is another, 64013, which I nearly missed this morning working the 0930 37 from Green Lane to Crowngate bus station. Very low light levels, so some pixellation evident, but a record nonetheless.

Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions
with Christmas & new year over will first be using all the merc's now in service
Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions
As mentioned before, the main problem with them is electrical faults. This is mostly due to knackered batteries having being stood unused for almost a year. Just before I left I was told First have now ordered enough brand new batteries to replace all of the Citaros. I was told the cost too... It wasn't cheap! Anyway, once they arrive I would imagine the whole lot should be able to go into service.

When will the batteries arrive for the mercs
Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions
I managed to see all of them yesterday , three in service , one "spare bus" on a staff shuttle and the rest were dotted about the depot and patch.
Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions
Have any of the 08-reg examples entered service yet?

Re: FMR Mercedes Citaro acquisitions
Saw 64014 on a 144A last Friday.It was dark and I was coming through Catshill and at first thought it was a Volvo because of the destination display it was only when I was up close I realized it was a Citaro I say 144A I didn't read the display when I was close but did pass a green Volvo on a 144 a few minutes later so presume it was a 144A.
