Citylink Citaro's should be going next, on the news for 5293 "Prior to being released for internal refurbishment and repaint at Bus & Coach World, Blackburn, this vehicle has been fitted with free customer Wi-Fi". - this was added in February. It does seem like all the Citaro's will go for a refurbishment, expect for the Connections 4 Citaro's.
I wonder when the first Citylink will be sent down to Blackburn, maybe when a couple more Citaro's are back?
I do hope the newest buses arriving have the same seating of the refurbishment Citaro's....

I do say they are really nice and improving numbers will be from that kind of upgrade. I hope my see it do it gets wifi because it's the only mercs what dosent have wifi but I said a week or so a go that I'd like them to have wifi due to it being a lengthy route too would make it more of an improvement for the passengers , on my early morning one always get quite a busy load at 8 in the morning .

I don't think I've ever seen 6139 with a working side or rear destination...

And many more...
I think we can draw a conclusion that displays, typically displays which are not front displays don't seem to be required to be working. If there is a horribly defective front display, they get pulled off the road - but this is rare.

It was on the 826/816. If not 3887, it was either 3888 or 3889 as it was one of the unrepainted Presidents.
