I think the "best advert" statement is also a bit OTT - the B9s that were on in the summer were 8 years old and could pass stuff with ease. Remember though that buses are really only overtaking people who aren't fussed about getting somewhere quick anyways. Elite i's will be a far better advertisement.
Perhaps I hadn’t explained my point fully. Where the B9s were able vehicles they’re unremarkable buses
to the lay person.
6377 is very striking and inviting, much more so than anything in fleet livery or the Levantes. The B5s could have been but they messed that up with the foolish rear adverts of passengers standing. I agree the interdecks should self promote the route very well when they arrive.
