63344 - Alexander Dennis 'facelift' Enviro500
Citybus/New World First Bus
      
The model - this model carries New World First Bus livery on the nearside and Citybus livery on the offside. It is presented to retiring members of the companies. The destination, in Chinese, reads Honourable, Retirement, Happy.  It is not generally available.

In March 2021
Chow Ka-Yan allowed me to share his photographs of the actual model.

Update - 4th July 2025

Following the demise of New World First Bus brand in July 2023, the retirement model clearly had to change and in early July 2025 I came across a couple of examples of the new model, one on a Hong Kong based selling site, the other on a UK selling site. The new model features a Wrights Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B8L in the new Citybus yellow and blue livery. The registration reads 'Thank You' and it has no fleet number.  The destination reads 'Happy Retirement' in Chinese. I can confirm the product code of this new model as being 63636, and a new page has now been added.

The lettering on the roof reads "Good memories are always in my heart" on the left and "Retire and enjoy happiness" on the right. These translations are from my mobile phone, so if the actual translation is different, please let me know.
