Turned up on the pre hybrid 21s a fair few times too.
Then again. I liked the Optare Excels....

(01 Sep 2013, 11:04 am)Daniel wrote On trial for use on service X7.
It was noted that she broke down whilst working service X7 a few days ago, so presumably ended up at Deptford for maintenance and in this time, Deptford have had her out on 20s.
4920 has gone in the other direction to cover for 4957.

They were sold, due to their apparent un-reliability, but have lasted donkeys elsewhere...

I had a great ride out to Hartlepool on one in the 21A days

Reminds me of the nice looking kit you get running in Spanish holiday resorts

I must admit it is a nice looking bus, I like the white destination display on the front.
What exactly is the Citaro K, is it a new variation of the Citaro or is it actually a midi/mini bus whatever there called these days and is it Mercedes equivalent of an MPD or Solo/Versa, I only ask because I have little knowledge of bus manufacturers and the models they produce, if you put 10 buses in front of me I wouldn't have a clue what they were, the only buses I could positively recognise with having to look it up or think about is a Optare Solo/Versa a Wright Cadet and a Scania, lol...
Going back to the Sexy description, your right about one thing, it is neat and also reminds me of buses in Spanish Holiday Resorts...
So if it is sexy, is it sexy to the point where if it was a Woman all the boys would want a piece and be a bit of a super model lmao
