Another double Scania photo with N270UD 6958 closest to the camera this is the former Brighton and 717, whilst N230UD 6953 is seen in the background. The 08 plate was one of two new to METROBUS. The other one, 6954, has since been withdrawn.

Crawley is currently a Scania OmniCity hotspot with loads of Scania Omnicities still in use. 6973 and 6977 are both seen the other day sitting in the bus station. These also don't have long left with additional Geminis coming up from Brighton and Hove. Hopefully, these do live for that bit longer.
