Yes, ML1-44, in total of 39 ML and MC9 has gone to Australia, to work for
Ensignbus subsidary - City Sightseeing.

but due to the happing on 911 in New York, it also hits the tourism industry in Australia, with the in-bound tourist dropping CS decided to ship 10 of its buses back into UK.

actually what are the relationship among Ensign, Arriva and City-Sightseeing???

those buses are meant to replace the last ex London Arriva Metrobuses; the issue is- again-engines... Euro3 engines must be fitted.

From what we understand, if all goes well, those buses would start entering service after Easter, when the arriva signtseeing bus operation would start the summer schedules- but wait and see if it actually happens!

Yoram

Ensignbus own City Sightseeing
Arriva is partner/franchisee of City Sightseeing in London.

The Arriva Origianl Tours of London used to be called London Pride Sightseeing and is operated by Ensignbus

I guess these buses are re-powered by Iveco engine instead of the Cummins ISC which is too strong for their Gearboxes................
