Trolleybus 106 gets matrix displays

GTZ trolleybus 106 has become a bit of a celebrity, being the last GTZ – no the last VBZ bus in regular service – to use roller-blind displays. This ended in early December when matrix displays were fitted, presumably from a withdrawn sister vehicle.

This would make this the third bus to use the displays as the GTZs were in turn fitted with matrixes from withdrawn O405 diesel buses. For a bus that supposedly (or so it was suggested) has only days to live, this is a surprising move. Of course we wouldn't mind if this means their final withdrawal has been postponed yet again.
