Wah, so sad.

We should be happy at least because all reached the end of lifespan and no other reason.....this fact alone makes the MKIII the most unique type in my eyes.

Yeah thats why.Really missing them lots.After my most favourite model the MK2 retired,I looked upon the MK3 as my 'next MK2' because it looked exactly just like it's older brother the MK2 except for only it's rectangular windows and some of the MK3s really sound just like the MK2s.I just saw 714A on 111 today and when it was moving off from the bus stop,it really sounded like a MK2 and i felt like as if i just saw a MK2 went past me alive.I just took 726R on 38 and 780H on 32 today and both the buses were really awesome.Now time has flied so quickly past us and even the MK3s are also slowly parting from us alr.Really cant bear to see them go.The time has come for us lovers of this great model to just bid farewell to them.

Right, but I don't think the Citaros are going to perm the services which the laid-up MK3s formerly permed.
