Wrightbuses depending upon the engine and chassis can be very good. However, I've noticed that all WB bodies suffer from electrical problems:
- Arriva SB200 Commander had no power back in 2006 when I was younger.
- Arriva DB300 7608 has a buzzer problem upstairs when the bell rings and it will buzz until the door opens.
- GNE B9TL 6111 stop sign not working upstairs.
- Few GNE CC B9TL's with next stop announcements not working.
- Teething problems with the B9TL launch on the TEN.

Stanley may of possibly received another Omnicity. as I saw a plain red one on the X31 with a full rear dest (number, destination and the route) whereas the ones they currently have only display the number on the rear. Stanley may of just played around with the dests but I doubt it.

(13 Mar 2014, 7:10 pm)NEBCD Malarkey and the omnis on the 50, think it will April/May before we the New Corporate Livery rolled out, As think GNE will do branding for individual brands week by week.
E.g. 2 Weeks ago 5204-09 got branded Fast Cats, This week it was the Citaros going into WTX, This upcoming week could be one of the above for all we know.
