*MB Loans Part 3* - Bluestar Scania Omnidekka 1004 YN56 FFK on route 3

Описание: Following the destruction of Metrobus' hydroliner 6069 to a devastating fire, Wrightbus has taken the decision to order metrobus to recall all of their single decker hydroliners for battery investigations. This has left a 42 vehicle deficit in the fleet. As a result, in order to keep services that would otherwise be cancelled online, metrobus are pulling in emergency loans left and right, even going as far to use an open topper as a loan on the 23. Part 3 occurs, unironically on my local route, of the 3. With the rain having stopped luckily, I went out to film this Scania Omnidekka operating my local route. A Brighton and Hove original, before moving to Bluestar. Having been withdrawn from Bluestar service just a month before, it was free to be moved straight to metrobus as they began needing whatever buses they could muster. I am surprised this was even withdrawn from bluestar, as it still has a lot of life left in her, and could easily keep kicking down in bluestar's home of Southampton, but alas it was withdrawn a month ago, and therefore was available to help out metrobus. I do miss our old omnidekkas, even if 6939 was literally failing when I last rode on it before its retirement. (Not filmed, as I was travelling on it doing a busy school route to college and filming buses was not something I thought about until I filmed another bus again with ‪@kieranstravels‬. But it is good to see an older Scania again, because do I adore the sounds of an older Scania, espesically since before the eclipses came along, my local route was operated mainly by 2005 Scania Omnicities.
