They're registered in Oxford because the MAN UK main dealer is in nearby Swindon. Most new vehicles are now registered by the manufacturer

It looks just like the current MANs to me

This new livery is rather marmite.. You either love it or hate it , I'm surprised they are Ecocity's although if I remember correctly, MAN Lion City arent sold in the UK

Seen one of these on delivery on the back of a lorry on Saturday 23 on the M6, any idea which one?

No registration plates or fleet number visible.

Thanks

They will be going on the 82A to please Mersey travel

What do Merseytravel have to do with allocations? Also, lets face it. Saph Pulsars go everywhere, so does 5000-9. Originally afaik, the vehicles were intended for the 1, 2, 21 and X30 though i note on here, they have been on all routes that it could possibly be used for. I guess at some point, these new ones will venture into Chester.

This batch of EcoCitys was part funded by OLEV funding as a result of a joint Arriva and Merseytravel bid. That's why the 82A is receiving the new batch of gas buses

And the older ones are "meant" to be going on the 79Cs if you believe the reports
