I love these buses :) I explored Blackwall Tunnel and the bus stop linked with Morden Wharf Garage (MG) for the first time on route 108; I got off at North Greenwich and returned to Stratford :)
For anyone who doesn't know, these were torched upon export to Cyprus by a rival operator who wasn't happy they were awarded the contract. The operators who torched the buses operate ex-Metrobus London MAN MCV Evolutions. And people call operators over here dodgy cowboys, that is one big yikes.
I wanna know how the hell this route went over nearly a year ago now! Again tho like the 128 wouldn’t be you to not have one of these in the pipelines would it 😂
I saw them last year after withdrawal in August time, and they were just sitting in Bromley Bus depot with no Stagecoach logo on them anymore. Look for my videos from Bromley Bus garage last year in August if you want to see
You never know, you might get another go at hearing a Citaro being floored. Hopefully spending my Sundays driving either Citaros or Enviros with the TopoDyn Super Power shift programme ;)
Might need to drop me some dates for that cause those are absolutely rides I wanna experience. I dont think I wont ever experience a citaro being floored again but rather it'll be really unlikely. I dont get much luck with the 108 and forget about the 203. the 227 was the route I could get consistant luck with drivers having their foot straight down at night. I do have yet to experience a proper run out of a Super Power topodyn E400, I think croydon have a few but now that the 405s gone there isnt many good routes to get them on

Fast driver!
Very fast indeed! Ended up holding at penge for about 5 minutes to regulate
This bus reminds me London and east Stagecoach citro
Epicly amazing throwback thanks 4 giving my awesome content to watch keep on going 👍😀😀
Sounds a lot like euro III Tridents. May sound different with headphones on
Agreed

Great video. ☺️
sad they got withdrawn so soon 😢
these are way better than the Shitlites they use now
It is a shame

Mercedes Citaro 2012 LX12 DLE
What i hate is that now in Penge Go Ahead London Operates almost every route
I saw your streetlite max video, and boy that video was no better compared to this beast.
Sounds magnificent!
And is it sure that the first Citaro models used the old Conecto engines and internal seat layout?

No

No these didn't have topodyn. They had proper buttons under the pedal for kickdown
