I'm planning a visit again!

[Citybus]

Hi guys

Firstly, I have finally managed to upload my pictures from various visits to Sweden

https://citybus.piwigo.com/index?/category/51-sweden

Everything back to 2020 is now there. The new ones are marked as such. Skåne 2023 is also new but I took more than 21 days to finish editing so the tag has gone!

It was good to see all the old tat still on X-Trafik and I certainly enjoyed a few rides on 8500LEs!

Stockholm in March was also interesting, even if so many MANs dulls it a little.

As for my next trip, next month we will be heading to Falun and Östersund. It is 13 years since I was in either place, so things will be somewhat different!

For Dalatrafik, I have Keolis 2291-99, 6056/57/59-64/79-82, 8012-17/30-34, 8201-23, 8501-08/51-64. Is that everything? And are there other operators running services?

In Östersund, I have Vy Buss 71142-59/65-68/71-74/81-93. Is that everything? I've no idea about regional services, it was Danielssons and Molunds when I was last there.

Then another few days in Stockholm. You never know, Stockholms Spårvägar might manage a full service on tram line 7 this time!

Thanks for any help and enjoy the pictures.

Keolis has 46 buses in Falun:

2291-2294, 2865-2867, 3288-3291,3293-3295, 6056,6057,6059-6064, 8033-8034, 8201-8210, 8216-8218, 8503-8506, 8560-8564.

Plus that there is also a blue Mercedes-Benz Intouro in Falun with licence number RZM 088 used only for education, not for regular services.

If I remember correctly Keolis har these buses in Borlänge:

2295-2299, 2863-2864, 3296-3298, 6079-6082, 8012-8017, 8030-8032, 8211-8215, 8219-8223, 8501-8502, 8507-8508, 8551-8559.

3288-3291,3293-3298 and most of the buses within the numbers 8201-8215 (I don't know how many) is planned to be replaced by new Solaris Urbino 15 Electric buses in december this year.

6056-6057,6059-6064,8012-8017,8230-8034 will be replaced by new Solaris Urbino 12 Electric buses next summer.

There is also a local company called Hedmans that has these buses i Falun: 9900-9910,9920-9921. They also have a number of smaller buses (with around 21 seats) in Falun and Borlänge but I don't know how many.

Other companies like Västanhede, Transdev, and Sälen Buss have buses stationed in other municipalities in the region and they some of their buses go in and out of Falun.

Brilliant, thanks for that. Most useful. Glad I'm getting there before the Citywide hybrids go.

The first part of my photos from this visit is complete.

Stockholm
https://citybus.piwigo.com/index?/category/269-stockholm_county_2025

As well as new MANs with Keolis and Nobina, there is
repainted Keolis 4913 and 4926
a few scruffy school buses
Nobina 3770 on line 731, not the Citaro yet!
Scania test bus KRH 64F
Private owner old Scania BAS 617.

A couple of questions
What replaced Nobina 3770 to allow it to move west?
Keolis 4149 is blue. Is there a reason it is numbered away from the other Lunda blue MANs?

My other photos will be updated over the weekend

My photos from Östersund

https://citybus.piwigo.com/index?/category/285-ostersund_2025/start-50

I was surprised to see som many Omnilinks in traffic, there were 6. Others were at teh depot. I also got a photo of eCitaro G 72255 at the Mercedes dealership. Not a good photo, but it meant I got everything!

Connect Bus were running an Iveco Evadys.

And photos from Darlana
