Mercedes Citaro 0530N/Mercedes Citaro 5306 (NK08 CHO) was returned to Deptford yesterday, and 5307 (NK08 CHV) was moved into the spray booth. Should be repainted and sent back to Deptford today.

Me and Dan had a bit of back and forth in another thread regarding how minor some of the requirements are, but on the same note, I'm confident something like an Atlantean or Olympian would require way more adjustment.
Whilst I'd love to see a fleet of DDA compliant Atlanteans on the road, I think we're going to have to settle for underpowered plastic.
Yep, DDA-compliance is so much more than a bus being low-floor and equipped with a ramp.
The Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renowns are proof of this - all are low-floor and fitted with ramps (some of which are equipped with automatic ramps which I believe are more modern than your standard manual ramp), yet these aren't DDA-complaint and are having to undergo modifications to secure their future within the fleet beyond 1 January 2016.
