Vehicles withdrawn:<br />
by 7/01 151/3-6 (PR100MI/Hz GX107); 170 (PR100.2/Hz GX107); 259 (PR100.2) & 363 (PR180).<br />
General: A summary fleet list contained in Réseaux Urbains gave the current fleet as 61-8, 71/2, 101-3/11-<br />
27/57-69/71-87, 261-74, 301-24/62/4-8, 371-98, 451-71. This excludes the GIHP minibuses which are adapted for<br />
disabled transport (current stock believed to be 51-3, 81-5, 96). <strong>The</strong> R312's (401-31) are also missing, though your<br />
sub-editor saw nine of them while passing through to/from his holidays, including 401/2. PR100.2's 261-6 had<br />
previously been given as withdrawn. 261 was at Ouistreham 12/7/01 and 25/7/01, evidently on loan to the<br />
Chambre de Commerce et Industrie de Caen, who operate the shuttle service between the ferry terminal and the<br />
boats, for foot passengers. None of 262-6 was seen, although slightly newer 267/72 were in evidence.<br />
A new livery is being adopted in anticipation of the new 'tram' service (actually a double-articulated guided<br />
trolleybus, using a single steel rail for guidance), and the CTAC logo is to be dropped in favour of the name<br />
'Twisto', from September 2001. Our French colleagues found the name rather unfortunate, given the difficulties<br />
experienced in Nancy with similar guided trolleybuses, where the rear section has tended to run out of control and<br />
strike street furniture.<br />
