(21 Oct 2013, 10:38 am)JP6004 Every citaro has that layout behind the driver. It has a new wheelchair layout tho on other side

Yeah, that's what I was saying...

Nevermind...

The rear of the bus is different - with the full seats along the back (removal of luggage rack) and the few rows in front set out different to say the examples on the 27.

Forgot to mention (blame lack of sleep) that there are/have been two older men taking photos at Concord, two men (possibly brothers) taking fleet numbers at Heworth and a young lad looking like he was desperate to get a photo of a Solar Waggonway.

I must have been 3/4 of the way through my journey when the first 'is this the M1' query came in.

It still has 4 seats and rack like 27. Only difference is 4 seats on both sides instead of 4 & 3

Eh? Are we spotting the spotters now? What's this got to do with anything?

(21 Oct 2013, 12:10 pm)Liam Yes! Haven't you played this game before, the amount of enemies you can make by taking photographs of them is brilliant. Goodbye.

Sorry, I'm obviously missing some sort of private joke here...

(21 Oct 2013, 8:51 am)R838PRG That video is legendary. Some catchphrases that have been adopted in the enthusiast world. In your face Boris and here's something you don't see everyday

Keep up the good work lads!

There is more of them hahaha, I spotted them whilst looking for the Key Flashmob Videos on Youtube a few days ago. My Particular Favourite is the way Bazza says "Nice Buses There Are".

(21 Oct 2013, 12:47 pm)GMitchelhill I thought the 61 was going under the Simplicity brand.

Original plans were for the 61 to go Northern and the 39 to go SimpliCity. The 39 was destined to have a 10 min frequency and be allocated 8320-24 alongside 8306-09.

As the 61's blinds have now been updated so that the colour is purple as opposed to green, it would now suggest that plans have changed so the 61 will continue to be allocated the "SimpliCity" branded Versas and actually come under that brand name.

I must admit I'm a little disappointed that this is the case, as I do not feel the "SimpliCity" brand name is appropriate for the 61 at all. We discussed a few days ago what I believe the name means etc, and the 61 does not fit in with that at all.
