Questions for my next visit

[Citybus]

Arriva

Can anyone improve the list for the "new" Scania Omni with Arriva

Råsta
7501-9, 7551-604, 7747-78, 7909-14

Spånga
7510-28, 7605-56, 7670/1

Märsta
7529-43, 7813-9, 7823-8

?
7779/80
7820-2
7829-58

At Ekerö, what are the best routes to find 2768 (if it is still here), 6396/7 operating?


Keolis

What are the best routes to find MaxCi operating – in particular bus 5131. I assume 52 and 56 are some of them.
What are the best routes for Scania Omnicity gas 7474-8?
What are the best routes for Scania Omnilink 4751-60 (obviously not 4753!!!)


Nobina

Are 4108/9 still in use. If so, where are they found?

Thanks for any help . . . .

Nobina 4108 and 4109 is still in use. You can find them in Nykvarn on line 779 and 782 (sorry for my bad English )

I actually haven't seen 2768 for a while, but according to this list, which almost always is up to date, the bus is still here.

The 12 m buses are used on quite many routes, and during the rush hours many of these buses can be found on the road between Brommaplan and Ekerö centrum.
If the buses you look for don't appear there, you can also visit Ekerö centrum (route 342) and Svanhagen (routes 313, 314, 315 and 316). Today I saw 6396 on route 342.

6397 is an exception though. Every day, it operates on route 311 (between Sjöängen and Slut) and 312 (from Sjöängen to Adelsö and back).
It leaves the bus garage in Ekerö centrum early in the morning and returns from Munsö/Adelsö in the evening. I also think that it does a quick visit at the garage around 1 PM.
Later, a 10 m MAN bus will operate on these routes instead of 6397, but according to the information I've received, that bus will arrive in November.

Good luck!

Perhaps I can aid you a little when it comes to the city buses. If I'm not mistaken, all the buses (or at least a majority of them) mentioned in your list, are located at one single depot: Hornsberg. Routes that I would recommend for you are the following: 40, 42, 49, 52, 56, 65, 66, 72 and 73. Except from these "main" bus routes, there are also a few other city bus routes where your selected buses can be seen. I can't tell how or when, but I guess that it in general happen during rush hours. The additional routes I can think of are routes like 43, 53, 55, 69/69K and 70. But as I said, these additional routes are more of a guess. I've seen some of your buses in service on route 53 and at least twice on any of the routes calling at the northern bus stop of the south train station (43, 55 or possibly even route 66), but can't really remember at what time of day.

At some times, the bus routes normally run by blue buses may be temporarily replaced by some of your mentioned buses. If this would be the case, the blue bus routes I would suggest are 1, 2 and 4.

Hope I helped you out at least a bit!

Now I've heard that 2768 returned today with a new number: 9904. It has been re-equipped with ticket machine and a working destination sign.

Rented out by Scania still then? 9904 would fit well in with the 9901-9903 series that Keolis runs...

[Tommy E]

Rented out by Scania still then?

Yes, according to my source of information.

[Citybus]

Nobina 4108 and 4109 is still in use. You can find them in Nykvarn on line 779 and 782 (sorry for my bad English )

Not bad English!!!  Thanks for the info. Looking at the timetable, it looks like three buses operate the 779 and 782 at school times. Any idea which the third bus is?

Thanks. So 6397 not the easiest bus for me to track down . . . .

Thanks. I have seen gas Omnicity on the 40 and 42 so far . . . .

Ohh! 782X is a low entry bus operated by Nobina Södertälje. You will not se 4108/09 there. Only on 782 and 779.

Oh, OK, not 782X. That is sorted then. Thanks!!

Well, it's easy to find since it operates on the same routes every day, but it's quite far away.
If you go to Sjöängen on Munsö you will surely see it, but I have also seen it return to the garage in the middle of the day. I'm quite sure that it will appear in Ekerö centrum around 1 PM.

Yes, the trip out is what I meant!!  With this and the trip to Nykvarns I will certainly be getting about a bit!!

6397 operates on other routes today, I just saw it on route 316... It has been on route 311 and 312 for several weeks, but not today. I don't know if this change is temporary or not.
