All deckers come with a 6.7L Cummins / ZF as standard and they even have a nice 'Gardner' sound to them!
Few videos doing the rounds on Youtube and they seem capable enough.
Do you know what ADL are offering in the Enviro 500 now? Sure it used to be the 10.8L Cummins ISMe (though I can't find any literature that confirms), but I'm not sure whether that's been changed recently.

There must have been some justification in using an image like that, but I am not sure what positive message it puts across.
To me, it gives off connotations of a crowded bus.
It doesn't 'sell' the service, the features or the benefits.
The images attached are two that XC have used.
I am getting all sorts of ideas and connotations from those images. All of them are related to how I can use my time productively, in a comfy environment.
We know that the reality may be different - but to attract infrequent or new passengers, I am seeing a lot more positives in the XC pictures, over GNE's X9/10 imagery.
Then compare it to this:

Slightly baffling as to why the tables wouldn't be used as a major selling point to the type of clientele GNE seemed to be aiming at with the images. Slap a picture of 4 people having a meeting on there, and I'd argue it's already a better job than 6 people standing up.
