In Bulgaria. Those ware mostly faced out almost 15 years ago. Unfortunately their replacements Siemens Desiros didn't last as long. A lot ware lost to accidents , others lay abandoned due to lack of parts and being cannibalised for parts. BDZ (the national carrier) had to re-activate old stock at some places to cover the deficit.
Good Video! Why where retro Buses out at that time? Are the retrobuses out in the summer, too? Last year (2023. 09. 04.-08.) I was in Sofia, and it was great, altough I only could travel with one Ikarus 280T (2123) on the Line 6, and I saw only those trolleybuses just two times. How long will the Ikarus 280T-Trolleybuses stay in service and are there out in the summer break too?
It was an event for the 123rd anniversary of public transport in Sofia. The trolleybuses Ikarus 280T (2123 and 2723) are in service year-round on line 6 and sometimes on 9 . Events with retro busses are expected in the future too.
