2020 Arrivals and Disposals

As I drove past the depot earlier, i'm sure I saw another green fronted Citaro (like 64034) parked on the patch (next to the training buses) Although it was dark so not 100%...

If so it says First Berkshire on it, I took a snap earlier but couldn't get a decent shot

That's the one! Deffo isn't 64034 as that had it's berkshire logos removed when it arrived & she was out in service today anyway. So it should be either 64032, 64046 or 64048 from Slough.

I don't know about you guys but I do like the different coloured fronts, maybe they could stay like this for a branding for say Malverns or keep the green for Dines Green service 30?

63361 now in service at Leicester. Just 63362 & 63363 to appear there now

Not a bad idea. There are also 3 orange fronted Citaro's at Slough which could be used for the 38... Although it seems the 34 & 38 are inter-worked at the moment.

For the Malvern's - I would prefer something more spectacular, like the new Doncaster livery (2-tone red & cream) would look quite nice!

Thanks for that photo willr7, - that looks like a "template" for a livery to suit Midland Red colours of red and maroon, and cream to suit Midland Red West

The Citaro that arrived is 64048, as she's not been tracked in Berkshire since the other day!

If you going off the tracker, it could also be 64032 as that hasn't been tracked in months!

It's a nod towards the old Doncaster Corporation livery. And worth pointing out that Mr Eggleton is at the helm of the South Yorkshire operations as well as the Midlands

Imagine if that became our standard livery to replace the urban 2 fuchsia!
