Also noticed that, like the newer B7RLEs at Bolton, that the new Enviros that are on the 409 have driver seatbelts. Is this a compulsory thing now for new buses?

Enviros on the 409 today: 33446/7/8, 33668, 33692, 33748 and 33755. Also supplemented by a couple of B9s (37440 and 37557)

Meanwhile, 30805 out on the 135 this afternoon.

60235, 60272 Makes two confirmed so far, 60235 is one of the best kept citaros still in service, 90 percent of the fleet, have leaky roofs and dodgy panels like 60228, 60227 60270 etc. But 60280, 64029,60255/6/7 top citaros still now.

Last time I got on 64029 it was packed except from one seat, and that seat had a custard cream mushed into it.

Personally I prefer the older ones to 64029, it feels different to me that one...

I here what your saying Liam, about the W reg ones, obvious things with 64029 yes interior, which isn't the best, slightly less seats, although more comfort from them than the older citaros, and obviously 64029 is an 02 plate, not that, it really matters

Interesting that 10017 hasn't been seen in service for a while, last time I heard it was parked at Bury Depot
