My view is that they are probably for Olympics shuttle work and are
probably moving between Olympics sites and the Arriva depot at
Edmonton. I understand that Arriva have retained a number of Citaros
for such work.

I'm surprised Boris hasn't jumped on that bandwagon and ordered dozens of his
new daft bus to be showcased on olympic work. Missed a trick there.

It would be a bit difficult for him to do that given that the 8
prototypes are not yet here. Only 6 have turned up and it is not clear
when the next 2 will arrive. It is taking on average 4-5 weeks between
each vehicle delivery. The third bus is actually badged as the sixth
one too!

Boris hinted this morning at Mayor's Questions that more than one
manufacturer will produce the 600 production vehicles that he also
confirmed as an "absolute commitment for delivery by 2016".

That's interesting -- I though Wrightbus had at least some ownership
of the detailed design?
