Den Oudsten

[Ivo]

By the way, are the Den Oudstens still in Sofia, or are they gone?

Yes, the Den Oudstens are in Sofia, you can see them on lines 73 and 260.

I've still got a few questions about the Den Oudstens in and around Sofia. As I've told before, I will visit Sofia begin April. I'm wandering where I can find most Alliance buses, maybe a bus station or so and where I can find the depot of Eridantrans.
Apart from that, I'm also wandering if and where I could find the Alliance trolleybus.

We'll also visit Burgas and maybe Plovdiv. About Plovdiv, is there a special line where the Den Oudstens run on?

Thanks in advance!

Can someone maybe tell me the address of the Eridantrans depot?

Thanx!

[Ivo]

Eridantrans has two depots. On street "Zitnitica"(улица Житница) and in "Malinova Dolina" on street "Kliment Ohridski"(Булевард Климент Охридски) where they repair the buses. The buses park in the depot on street "Zitnitca" in depot Zemljane

Thank you both very much!  

I'm very sad...

So I won't be there next week...

I'm sorry to say it, but the Den oudsten buses are no longer to be seen in Sofia, as the transport operators which used to operate with them, had to change the buses in order to meet the new requirements from the European Union.

Too bad
What about the Den Oudsten Trolleybus? And where have the Den Oudstens gone to? Like for instance 'new' one 5019?

[Ivo]

I don`t know where is 5019.
The Den Oudsten buses were very good buses. The Den Oudsten buses are not in use in Sofia any more.

Hello from Greece!

Den Oudstens here in Greece are still alive!

Athens had 71 (now 7 less in service because of an anarchists' attack at a depot months ago) Den Oudsten Alliance City B90 With DAF RS180L engine, built in 1993-1994. You can see photos of them here http://www.leoforeia.gr/photos2/thumbnails.php?album=1 . At first they had other livery but somewhere at the start of this decade (i think 2002 or 2003) every bus changed into ETHEL's (The Public Bus transport company in Athens) new livery.

Nice!
Thanks for this link:)
