Kaunas

[Citybus]

I have also just returned from a visit to Latvia and Lithuania.

The city of Kaunas has operated many former Swedish vehicles. There are now less of these as there have been many recent arrivals from The Netherlands, but a few hang on, including former Swebus Scania CN112CL #2561, which I took a journey on.

Photos from my tip here.

Nice pictures! When I was in Kaunas in late August I was told that there were only 7 swedish buses left in service (5 Volvos and 2 Scanias), of which only 5 were used the day I was there. I was told that the rest had been withdrawn from service, but it seems like you got a lot more than that...

Some pictures are from inside the depot, but the following were in traffic.

Volvo - 075, 080, 083, 094, 213, 214, 216
Scania - 084, 087, 224.

Scania 658 left the workshop whilst I was in the depot and was available but I didn't see it in use. I was really upset I saw 084 in traffic but didn't manage to ride on it or take a picture outside the depot.

The condition of some of them is really poor, although mechanically they seem great.
