I finished the Christmas holidays, and a good start to the new year, I decided to return to Abruzzo, to be precise in Chieti and Pescara. A Chieti the urban service is managed by the "scenic route", a company that also includes Satam (Automotive Services Abruzzo Molise), which manages some intercity lines connecting Fiuggi Chieti and Pescara, Bologna, Naples, Salerno, Genoa, Sanremo . The main bus terminus is at the top, city-Riding in Largo, from where most of the trunk lines, while the railway station is situated in Chieti Scalo, in the historic center.
The fleet of The overview is quite varied and unique, and also includes means quite old, but still perfectly functional and outstanding. In addition to these are also environmentally friendly vehicles, and other modern means much more known, created by the track and BredaMenarini. Since September 28, 2009 is back in operation a trolley bus line was established in 1950, but was closed in 1992. The line in question is the one that connects the terminus of Chieti Scalo (Anne) central (Martyrs Pennesi) passing for Largo Riding. E 'exerted by Menarini F201 / 2 LU (range 212-221), the version of the trolley Menarini 201 / 2 LU. In the early days of service of the new trolley-bus lines also spoke of the purchase of three new trolley bus Van Hool to accompany the old Menarini, but still do not know anything about it. In the day's Chieti line 1 is carried on by regular buses, trolleybuses, while resting in storage. From Largo
Riding, there is an escalator for the suburban bus station, located just below the old town. Late morning brought us a welcome presence in Pescara, where we continued our tour. Even here many pleasant surprises waiting for us, both in urban GTM (vehicle insurance), that the town service ARPA (Regional Public Bus Abruzzo), but more on that later.
Now here are the pictures agli autobus de La Panoramica di Chieti:
MENARINI 201/2 LU
Le vecchie glorie de La Panoramica girano abbastanza frequentemente anche negli orari "morti" come il pomeriggio (seppur molto limitatamente). Questo Menarini 201/2 LU a 4 porte è rimasto fermo fuori servizio per qualche ora, per poi, verso le 11.45, spostarsi al capolinea per prendere servizio sulla linea 8. Alcuni Menarini come questo sono stati radiati l'anno scorso, e al loro posto sono arrivati dei nuovi Mercedes Citaro seconda versione ad inizio 2010. Oltre a questo girava anche la vettura 29, un 201/2 NU da 10.5 metri. Da poco tempo a this means he was put on display for the identification of the line, instead of the old paddle indicator, a sign that for some time to keep running.
Menarini 220 LU
are also the most modern Menarini 220 LU of the early 90, either in the UN from 10.5 meters, 12 meters from the UN version like this here. Since I arrived in Chieti has never moved from that position. In fact, usually makes a run-only school and then back into storage. Unfortunately, when The overview will decide to purchase new buses to rejuvenate the fleet, The car will be among the first to make way for new media. Unlike many older 201, for this medium is still the old paddle indicator.
BREDABUS MOD.INBUS U150
Another old glory in the fleet of The Overview. We are talking about the car 35, a Bredabud mod.Inbus U150, bought in 1993. He shot all morning on line 5 and I've also done a tour and I can see that even though the beauty of 18 years, the medium seems perfectly again. Unfortunately have not had the same luck that the Inbus U150 had Pescara. In fact, after a few years have been struck off to make room for new BMB231.
AUTODROMO Busotto
Strongly present in Chieti are Busotto Circuit, both in the first series of 1997-1999, in the second series of 2002. Here we see a turn for the line instead of the trolleybus. Some of the first series of Busotto have orange seats in style Iveco Menarini 220 or 480, but others, purchased in 1999, the new seats in two shades of green. Both Busotto first series, and those of the second series, they change Voith. They, too, unlike for example the ATAC Busotto Rome, look new, and may still move for many years.
MERCEDES O530 CITARA
This Mercedes Citaro was purchased new in early 2010 to replace an already set aside Menarini 201 / 1 NU and Menarini 201 / 2 LU. As for Busotto, Citaro also are present in two versions, that of 2003-2004, and most recently in 2010. Small details: nonostate all Citaro de La Panoramica are three-door, inside the seats are almost suburban setting, that file is on the right side by two, that the left side. This is because, not having un numero elevato di passeggeri, orari scolastici a parte, si preferisce puntare di più ai posti a sedere che ai posti in piedi.
EPT MAURI HORUS
Nel 2009 entrano in servizio, quasi insieme ai filobus, anche questi minibus ibridi metano-elettrico da mettere nelle circolari del centro storico. In relatà non si tratta di un "ibrido metano-elettrico" nel senso comunemente inteso in quanto per generare elettricità non è usato un motore endotermico a ciclo Otto ma una turbina a gas (che, a seconda dell'ugello montato, può bruciare Gpl, metano o altri gas). Io ne ho visti circolare due durante la mattinata (n.252 e n.253).
