A batch of former BVG Berlin VDL Citea's found use with EBS as the new electric buses were not delivered on time.
VDL Citea LLE-99 | 44 Wageningen - Tiel
De Dr. Schaepmanstraat in Tiel was voorheen een laan met hoge bomen, maar daar bleek vandaag toch wel verandering in gekomen te zijn.

The Dr. Schaepmanstraat in Tiel used to be lined with tall trees, but nowadays the look of this street has changed a lot.
Since 2016 a fleet of electric buses is in use for the bus services in the city of Eindhoven. The buses are from a new type of the Citea SLFA (Low Floor Articulated) built by VDL. Buses in Eindhoven are operated by Hermes under the Bravo brand used in the whole province of Noord-Brabant.
Berlin Hertzallee, 25 September 2016.
Behind Zoologischer Garten station there is a large layover area on the Hertzallee where a number of buses are at rest before starting a new journey.
VDL Citea SLF-120 | 3 Kortendijk - Kroeven
Sinds de laatste bezuinigingsronde door de nasleep van de Corona-pandemie bestaat de Roosendaalse stadsdienst in het weekend uit drie lijnen die elk slechts één kant op rijden. Alledrie de lijnen zijn op de eindpunten gekoppeld, waardoor een ingewikkelde lusstructuur ontstaat.

Since the latest cuts due to the effects op Covid-19 on passeger numbers the local service in Roosendaal consists of three routes each running in only one direction. The three routes are coupled at their termini, resulting in a complicated mix of loops.
Since last December public bus transportation in the West of the province of Noord-Brabant is operated by Arriva. In the whole province the operator-independent Bravo brand is used on all buses. This is a bus line to and from Gorinchem in Zuid-Holland.

Here is a smart VDL Citea, fairly new to the company.
It is seen passing the architectural gem that is Antwerp Central Station, on route 17 which operates between the University of Antwerp south of the city, then through the city northwards to Rijnkaai, an area of the Antwerp Docklands which has been rejuvenated. Currently, it is not operating the full route to Rijnkaai due to tramway construction works, but is terminating a few stops before at the FelixArchief.

VDL Citea LLE-120 | 80 Amersfoort - De Klomp
Het dorpje Scherpenzeel ligt in een uitstulping van de provincie Gelderland aan de enige hoofdweg door de Gelderse vallei en wordt daardoor bediend door de Utrechtse streeklijn 80 die ook de andere dorpjes in de vallei aandoet. De 1878 zien we hier passeren in het historische dorpshart rondom de kerk.

The village of Scherpenzeel is located in a bulge of the Gelderland province on the only main road through the Gelderse Vallei. Therefore it is served by route 80 from the Utrecht province, serving the other villages in the valley. The 1878 is seen here in the historical part of the village around the church.

In July 2018 the concession of Connexxion for bus services in Noord-Holland Noord was renewed. Since that moment the new corporate identity of Connexxion is being use in most buses, like this VDL Citea.
I should never describe any image as the last in a series. Since publishing the 'final' VDL Citea, I have received additional information from a regular contributor, to whom I am most grateful, which indicates that UK liveries such as this Go North East example are indeed possible.
For those of a more technical mind, here is the explanation from my learned friend. By using modular 'welded' construction, the driver's cab assembly and steering equipment can be positioned in a UK right-hand drive or European left-hand drive position on a standard front end sub-frame, with the rear sub-frame that carries the engine, gearbox and radiator being the same for all applications. The rear mounted radiator is normally fitted to the UK offside, which is the European nearside. The underframes used for the VDL SB120, SB180 and SB200 are effectively the same thing, except that the space frame rails between the front and rear modules are of different lengths depending on the overall body length required.
In reality, Service 35 is operated by Mercedes-Benz Citaros, which provide a civilised ride from South Shields to Sunderland and places beyond that is more circuitous than its Laser branding might suggest. That said, in terms of quality, it is light years removed from the 535 service of my youth (25-Mar-12).

Arriva 8130 (VDL Citea SLF 120.310) vertrekt als lijn 2 naar Goirle vanaf het tijdelijke busstation bij het NS-station in Tilburg, rechts staat de 111075 van De Lijn (VDL Citea SLE 120) die als lijn 450 naar Turnhout zal rijden.
De foto is genomen op 9 maart 2019, de laatste dag dat dit busstation gebruikt werd. Het is op 10 december 2017 in gebruik genomen, zodat het nieuwe busstation aan de andere kant van de spoorlijn gebouwd kon worden.
