The only Citaro of this generation found in this part of the world is 3022 with some history behind it. It had been new as 3911 for the Shires route 321, was refurbished to Sapphire in 2014 after accident damage, transferred to Tamworth in 2016, and repainted into current livery in 2020. All in all a very well performing bus!
This bus was serving route 765: Lichfield Bus Station to Tamworth Corporation Street
Via: Borrowcop Hill, Whittington and Hopwas
Filmed in December 2023.

As someone fro where this bus started it's life, its so nice to see this performing so well just like it was when it was here. Same goes for BV58 MLK which is kind of local with Aylesbury but this one was always my favourite. Fantastic video 😊

Very nice mate, any idea when these are going?

Cheers mate. Shouldn’t think it’ll be anytime soon, they may even get more from Wycombe when that depot closes soon

I’m sure a lot of Wycombe’s 12 reg will go back to Tamworth to see off E300s and older Pulsars. I’m not sure where the ones they don’t need will go though. And I hate to say it but 3911 in old money is non standard up there, so I can see that going after July Also, it’s now 16 years old. All but 2 of the BV58s/BK58s down south have already been withdrawn. Time really has betrayed us - I remember when the BK58s were new on the Line Three-Hundred!

Oh wow, this is actually quite nice! I am far too used to Aylesbury’s shagged BV58s and it shows 🥲 Great video!

I’ve never had the misfortune of the Aylesbury examples luckily. Cheers, glad you enjoyed :)

BV58 MKO has been withdrawn, MLK lives on. haven’t been on it for at least a year not sure what it’s like now but it was a lot like this before wouldn’t say it was shagged unless your talking about the exterior

@@shiresbusveg I’m talking about all of it, interior, exterior, sound and performance. They were all like that before chosen examples got a new engine even 5 years ago, don’t spread misinformation… I know 3914 survives, I’m amazed it does as that thing could not climb Amersham Hill at all unlike our 12 reg which ate Wycombe’s hills for breakfast as usual
