When this blog launched in April 2009 I reported the arrival of final batch of Optare Solo in post number 2. Since then just nine new buses have arrived - the 2010 Centros - but that long period is now over with the arrival of the first five of the new Mercedes Citaros. One is believed to have arrived in March, while four were noted on delivery today.
The buses are Euro VI engined with E-leather seating, wood effect flooring and free wifi with charging points and next stop announcements. They are believed to be in a silver livery with yellow and black relief and are earmarked for route 5.
