  So long MKIIIs....all that will remain soon will be good memories I have of MKIIIs.

  Not the bad ones which include lousy mid-2000s aircon though.

  Such a pity such good buses are leaving us batch by batch. And many of them are still in good working conditions.

  Who will replace this guy? Am I right to assume that 936B was covering it today? It's sad that they're going off so quickly :(

  No choice, the Citaros are rolling out rather fast. So the 3 depots (BB/BN/HG) have to quickly clear off the MK3s in order to make way for the new Citaros.
