Normal specification StreetLites are probably about £150-160K, 1550-73 were £4.5million combined (works out about £185K each). What would 24 Citaros cost - be upwards of £250-300K each I bet.
Anything with a Cummins engine is crap for challenging routes! Give me a Volvo B9TL, Scania N series or a Merc Citaro anyday. "Turbocharging is nice but getting there is even better".
