I thought GNE were looking to get rid of Citaros altogether. There are 15 65-plate Citaros in Orpington that could transfer up, but they'd need a full refurb etc. and would those costs justify second hand vehicles which would be going after ~7 years anyway. I don't think GNE will be wanting more Citaros, as much as I like them as an enthusiast. They might as well just opt for brand new buses that have double the life span, cheaper to run and have the benefit of a standardized fleet. I think GAL would give the Orpington Citaros to somewhere like Plymouth or East Anglia as well as the Connections 4 batch that will only be here another few years.
