(19 Dec 2016, 5:10 pm)RBZ 5459 As thought, 24002 isn't painted yet. Was expecting to hear a bigger fuss if it was done.

(21 Dec 2016, 8:26 am)James M Did Stockton only get 1 Transbus E300? Saw it NIS in Billingham yesterday... not keen on the livery around the headlights though.
Not very important but noteworthy nonetheless..... Bdaily have posted a brief article on the new E200s at Slatyford: https://bdaily.co.uk/industrials/09-12-2...expansion/.

(22 Dec 2016, 9:14 am)RBZ 5459 Quite impressed with the E200s. Slatyford's are the first ones I've sampled.

(22 Dec 2016, 1:00 pm)South Tyne Lad Is it only me that thinks they shouldn't be called E200MMC's? As these Stagecoach examples feature the 6 cylinder 250hp 6.7L Cummins ISBe ( The same powerplant in the E400MMC ) and the same chassis that the E300 used, which effectively makes it a Euro 6 E300.
Standard spec for them is usaually the 4.5L , 4 Cylinder ISBe which usually produces 185-210hp.

(22 Dec 2016, 2:02 pm)RBZ 5459 Will be to do with narrowing the product range, and concentrating marketing into one sole single-deck product being available in lots of length and options, making it quite attractive to buyers. The second gen E200 got pushed by ADL and the industry (i.e. 'Bus of Britain'), there was very little publicity for the E300 Mk2, with smaller operators tending to go for the E200. Plus for the difference of less than a metre you may as well bung it all in as one diverse product.
(22 Dec 2016, 8:21 pm)cumbria0902150 Not quite the same, and it isn't the same chassis that the E300 used. The long length E200 is essentially a reintroduced "SPD", now sitting at 11.5m with the standard 4.5 litre engine instead of 11.3m, with an extra 30cm added to the vehicle length to accommodate the optional larger 6.7 litre engine, which was also an option on the old shape E200.

(22 Dec 2016, 11:19 pm)Andreos1 Let's hope they have sorted out the 'droop' at the back end, if they're stickting length and weight at the back like the SPD.
(23 Dec 2016, 1:23 am)James101 I've read elsewhere that the 200MMC is particularly bad for the undercarriage scraping on speed bumps due to how low they ride.
