Note this picture below, you'd have to remove 1-2 of those seats behind the cab in the first place to even think about putting in more seating - and that's without taking into account that the floor of the upstairs is raised above the cab/accessible seating area, so any space behind that (i.e where the luggage space is) is nowhere near big enough to consider seating (2nd link).There not going go be room for much to be fair

The light surrounds should be back though imo, the Streetdecks are the same, the Enviro's look much better with it.Yea the DD have the Xline colour beside the destination display. Might look odd there on the coaches

Do look rather smart IMO, I actually like it over the gold one, I think there's just too much gold, whereas this is nice and simple

You beat me to it, but at least I posted the photo!

Better than the Nines [emoji39]

I've had the windows open since February and I don't think it's dropped below 26c.Lucky for some! [emoji39] not as much if it's only for 4 vehicles
I wonder how much the temporary vinyl cost them, I'm sure it's a lot bigger than it looks

(05 Sep 2020, 8:10 pm)ne14ne1 wrote People seem to love whinging about change before they give things a chance, whether it’s the switch to coaches, or a change to road layouts for example. Most of the time I reckon they do it for the likes or attention or to try & be funny or they just have nothing better to do. It must be so tiring being negative & miserable about everything. Leave em to it.How can they moan? They only seat 5 less than a StreetDeck with tables...... And they'll be a hell of a lot more reliable than a standard double deck bus!
