While I obviously haven't been on the new StreetDecks so can't say what the quality is like, I still think the 67 plate StreetDecks feel nicer better than the E400s on the X30.

To me, ADL vehicles always have a cheap plastic feel about them, which isn't helped by the use of glossy plastic everywhere!

Bodywork wise, WrightBus are streets ahead. But mechanically, ADL have got the E400 pretty spot on. Only bad E400 examples (both classic & MMC) I've seen are Arriva's 57 reg examples that Blyth & Redcar got their hands on.

I think the StreetDeck has come on quality wise and WrightBus are listening by producing a 6 cylinder example for more heavy duty type work.

Will GNE's OM936 example come with a Voith or ZF gearbox? Also, will it come with stop-start?
