A MetroCity I suspect.

It will be a Citaro

Eclipse 94 was observed on the 5 this afternoon devoid of any branding. Can anyone advise if these are owned or leased?

A new livery coming for those buses on the 20 and 21 I believe

These are owned, same as the Solos they sold off not long back. A few Eclipses have had the headlight surrounds painted from cream to red also recently so perhaps new branding or an altered livery is planned.

As of the 18th of September, the 20's and 21's will be operating every ten minutes. I believe 7-8 of the Eclipses will all have specific 'Pops' branding and this is why a number of these buses now have red fronts..

Thanks all for clearing that up.


RE: WBT Network Warrington - ant17612 - 01/09/2017 10:48

One other thing is their intent to place an order for new buses this time? Or are they just looking at new kit? I would suspect they'd like to withdraw the lot of the 53/04 plate Cadets soonish.

The new MD is looking to purchase 7 new vehicles. We have a Citaro coming soon as a demonstrator and he is also looking at a Volvo option as well. All will be costed and a decision will be made..

Will the new buses be replacing 39-46?
