20.03.2020 22:25:16 go to comment Photos: 741 I've found it - DVLA records show that this was first registered in September 2009. At that time, Mayne Coaches of Manchester received two Cityzens: X118 ABA and X119 ABA. Both subsequently passed on to Holmeswood, and were re-registered ESK 807 and 466 YMG respectively. I was trying to work out what the word above the nearside headlamp says, but I've realised that it doesn't say anything, it's the remnants of a Scania logo that has fallen off. Looking through Flickr, X119 ABA/466 YMG is seen with the logo in 2008 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/avro45/9734120880/), and without it in 2012 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/nicksbuscoach/8054866915/).
This is X119 ABA! I've also found out during this search that Spike's Coaches and C L Travel (the Probus I posted at the same time as this) are the same company, under the banner of Collins, but seperate from Collins Coaches, Cambridge... | |

20.03.2020 21:32:07 go to comment Photos: 1380 · Photo moderator / General content editor / Non-author's photo moderator / Translator Right. Did some research. Cityzens were built only on Scania N113DRB Chassis in 1996-2000 period. There were total 116 produced. Around 20 converted later to open top buses, unknown amount scrapped. If seats were unchanged, this is definitely not one of 47 Brighton buses, as they had orange/brown seats. But even with this info, I think there is no luck to identify initial reg from ~60 left But good catch. Maybe in some time, info will float up. | |

Also, with Lucketts having just been purchased by National Express, what's the plan for the database? | |

Interesting. Knowing that "Souter Holdings" (Stagecoach) sold their Polish divison "Polski Bus" to "Flixbus" and on return they are not connected anymore. | |

Aye, the rollers are there on the front wheels because this service runs on the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway - see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridgeshire_Guided_Busway - it also has multiple view cameras instead of mirrors. I believe that these have come in to replace the 2009 Enviro 400s like this: https://busphoto.club/view/3500/ that have had the guiding rollers removed. These '09 Enviro 400s will now run the 5 and 6 services that used to run by ALX400s that have gone up to Stagecoach Manchester | |
