Cityrama 3050 – Irmãos Mota Atomic X


Sightseeing bus operated by Cityrama/Gray Line seen at Praça Marquês de Pombal, Lisboa, in October 2014. This sightseeing bus with fleet number 3050 is an Irmãos Mota Atomic X registered in 1987. It uses the Scania K112S chassis, presumably equipped with the Scania DSC11 engine.Originally a coach intended for intercity services, this Irmãos Mota Atomic X ¹ was at some point (2005–2006?) refurbished (by?) as a sightseeing bus and integrated into the Cityrama/Gray Line fleet. Based in Lisboa, Cityrama ²/Gray Line ³ operates regular specialized services and occasional services. Here, we see the Cityrama 3050 at the Praça Marquês de Pombal starting point, during a break between services. If my memory serves me right, I believe this sightseeing bus was used on the "Cascais Line" service. ●

Este autocarro panorâmico com o número de frota 3050 é um Irmãos Mota Atomic X registado em 1987. Possui um chassis Scania K112S, presumivelmente equipado com o motor Scania DSC11. Originalmente um autocarro vocacionado para serviços intercidades, este Irmãos Mota Atomic X ¹ é a dada altura (2005–2006?) reabilitado (por?) como autocarro panorâmico e integrado na frota da Cityrama/Gray Line. Baseada em Lisboa, a Cityrama ²/Gray Line ³ opera serviços regulares especializados e serviços ocasionais. Aqui, vemos o Cityrama 3050 no ponto de partida da Praça Marquês de Pombal, durante um intervalo entre serviços. Se a memória não me atraiçoa, creio que este autocarro panorâmico era utilizado no serviço "Cascais Line". ●

Here, we see this Andecar Viana S in an occasional service.
