I've never been on a citaro so I can't comment I went on a ex Cardiff bus scania solar that was at Chaserider which is a BusLink vehicle which was on loan they was nice they sounded amazing. However it's nice to see that they have working next stop announcements, I do need to do a Lichfield to Tamworth run at some point weather it is being on a Buslink run or an arriva run.

YN57FWM on Stafford-Crewe Rail Replacement today via Stoke today - rather a contrast in presentation to YX61FYE of Eminence. Just a pity it left Stafford showing Stafford as the destination, as did JKT'S GO70 JKT.

It is Bus Link who have purchased 4642 & 4644, they are collecting them tomorrow

If they do it's not a public service at least as far as I know.
The X11 from Aston Six Ways tracked as YN57FWG this morning but I believe it'd be closed door.

The Boots service from Wolverhampton to Burton via Walsall is operated by us at J.K.T International on a Zeelo contract.

That wouldnt be the whole 77 would it, as previous to the last change Nx were operating Sutton to Streetly in the main.
