Latest fleet news - 64012 has been withdrawn, as its MoT is up, and no money will be spent on a vehicle this age to get it through. In its place is 47446, yet another bloody StreetLite, this one from Bath.

Another Citaro in the wars is 64037, which suffered a catastrophic engine failure in Malvern last week. It looks as if it needs a new engine, and will be scrapped.

32646 (I’ve got the number correct this time!) looks like it has been sold for preservation, as seats have been swapped from 36244/5. I am unsure who has purchased it, but a Leicester Heritage Group recently expressed an interest.

..... In its place is 47446, yet another bloody StreetLite, this one from Bath.

As the older StreetLites need to have components replaced, and whilst other components have become "thoroughly run-in", - can they become better, smoother buses for both passengers and drivers ?

Not too sure on that one - I have driven most of the ex-Sheffield ones, and they do go a little better, especially up hills, but they rattle more than our slightly newer ones.
