One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

Haha was it the Toyota Yaris bit that made you think that? It was on McDonald St, the bus was running back to garage.

I did a duty on the 14 once, as I went through Alum Rock I thought it was the annual get together of the Nissan Micra Owners Club  ;D

Has 4624 gained a front LED display, or is there nothing on the dot matrix display in Tony's latest picture

I take it these are left un-branded, along with 4903, 4906 and 4908.

4909 is the first 957 branded Enviro400 I have seen, so is 4902 the last 900 branded bus, or is 4903 also branded?  :)

To my knowledge 4903-4908 are unbranded :)

I've got 4163 today. What a superb bus.  Drives like a brand new one. Only let down is the really rattling body work.
