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

Nooooo! They better get that changed otherwise it will bug me forever!!!

Is this a bad time to mention the fact that 64021 is totally different to the others?

Will the mirrors be of a contrasting colour so they're more noticeable or are they due to remain black?

I would hope so as the front nearside mirrors seem to stick out quite far (Like the old Sreetlite mirror setup)

Several Citaros appear to be on the road today, including 64021 which is the first of the Nimrod branded buses I’ve seen out.

Yep just seen 64021 heading out of town on a 35 and also 2 of the older citaros heading into Worcester down a congested rainbow hill on 35’s! I’m glad I was going the other way

Any chance of a Citaro on the 144 this year or will it be 2019 now ? Haven’t seen any reports of the Spare ones out, but I’m guessing some withdrawals can take place with lower PVRs for the time being

64033 is on the allocation sheet to go out today, so that will be the first spare bus used. Can’t see any going to Birmingham any time soon. They are still having teething problems, mostly electrical, and aren’t going too far from home.
