*BEAST* Arriva Midlands 3001 BJ12 YPK Mercedes Benz Citaro O530 Route 765

Here is an absolute beast of a Citaro operating the 765 from Tamworth to Lichfield and filmed in Tamworth. This bus was part of a batch of 30 Citaros that were new in July 2012 for Olympic duties. 3000-3019 were transferred to Tamworth in October 2012 to replace older single decks and were mainly used on local routes but occasionally appeared on the 110. 3007-3018 were transferred to High Wycombe (and 3019 to Aylesbury) in 2016 which left only 7 12-plate Citaros in Tamworth. This small batch continues to operate there today.

This bus has a Euro 5 rated Mercedes Benz engine and a ZF Ecolife gearbox.
