More I look at it the Citybus "rust buckets" are much more reliable then the newer vehicles and internally are much cleaner then the plasticy DAFs/Dart SLFs.

Yesterday a Dart SLF was filling with smoke internally when it overheated on one of the Chellaston estates, I found a old home movie the other week and a blue bus Ailsa travels past (this was about 1994). I always remember the Ailsa's for that unique sound they made.

As for the Marshall bodied Citybus's one of them have been purchased by notts+derby, it still bears the arriva livery just the notts+derby logos have been stuck over the arriva ones, its been used for rail replacement I think (along with the former Mickleover optares)
