I don't usually listen to the rumour mill but I have heard on good authority that a number of exBury Ciatros are coming to South Yorkshire when they are displaced there. Is there any news on this? Not sure what Bury's Citaros are like, but I have travelled on the Bus Eireann MC class on several occasions, which are Euro 2 Citaros (and withdrawn for over a year now). While they are a lovely bus to travel on, they are a disaster for hill climbing, and there were issues with build quality if the type spends a lot of time on bad roads. I hope none are allocated to Sheffield. The B10BLEs are a much better bus. I have noticed that the new Enviro 300s have put some of Bury's Citaros on the reserve list, along with some BLEs and Scania Axcess, though. Depends on how well they are looked after. Our Citaro's are a beautiful drive and have more mod cons than you could imagine. The only downside is everything is electronic from the windows/roof vents even down to the electronic handbrake, so if not looked after well they are prone to failures. One of the biggest problems with ours is the tail swing. |

Dart just got stuck on West Hill. Driver had to reverse, get speed up to climb the hill - we only just made it. These buses are pathetic

Did the others go? 60725 staying at OG. 60719 was down to go but hasnt either, 60731 now at RO. Possibility of some FSY buses being loaned to York to enable repaint programme to continue. |

The Streetlites are going on the 69? That's bonkers Thats the plan. Prototypes at RO because of major differences with production models such as axles. |
