I just think that it gets a little bit repetitive. The demand for what you want is there, although it's not as significant as the demand for other vehicle types, such as the E400 and Gemini 3.
I know you weren't having a go and I do bang on about it quite a bit, but it's an important thing to take into consideration. Would passengers like to be stranded in the rural Tyne Valley on a cold December morning or stuck on the windy, wet and dangerous A19 waiting for a replacenent bus. If manufacturers don't take things like that into consideration, then it's going to cause headaches for operators and inconvenience for passengers.
