Notes

Another shot into the same depot (which is one of many in the city) as in Irvine Citaro. As you can see this used to be a streetcar depot, and it’s right next to the streetcar line, but the tracks in front are not connected to it anymore and the overhead wire has been removed apparently a long time ago. Over at the right you can see two buses being fueled up. Hanover’s buses use CNG instead of normal diesel. One of the two buses being fueled is a solo Irvine-styled MB Citaro, the other is a polish Solaris Urbino, which is becoming more and more common in Hanover. At the rear you can see a solo MB Citaro parked. What surprises me most is that it has three doors per side, two of them between the two axles. I can’t recall seeing this configuration (which is also shared by the articulated versions, with additional doors in the back) anywhere else.
