That’s a shame as I liked that example. I saw her earlier running the 30

My former speed machine!
Not so much now though, I hear.

I know it's a bit rough, but I didn't realise it was that rough

Engineers have been told to get all of the Citaros ready to enter service tomorrow... Good luck!!

Hope they've got more than one breakdown van.....

Seems a shame though, they're a good-looking vehicle and the only one I've ever ridden on was very smooth.

Meanwhile 64018 was in Crowngate bus station at lunchtime today Monday 17 December 2018. One of these photos shows the odd seating arrangement at the rear of these Citaros previously commented upon in this forum.

That's had a new gearbox fitted since the last time you photographed it!

Does that mean they have found enough ticket machines for them now?

Also I came face to face with one of the citaro’s in Wadborough earlier (looks like they’ve ventured off the city routes again already!) sadly I did not note the fleet number as I was concentrating on getting out of the way for it to squeeze through! But I did notice that as it pulled off past me a load of back smoke came out the exhaust!

Looks like they are getting ready for a launch event...

They could have picked 3 with matching front ends!

I’ve just noticed, the Mercedes logo on 64043 has a black background, but the one on 64045 has a pink background
