I'd quite like to see MAN dip back into the UK market with their latest offering on the Lion City range, they looked stunning when I visited the MAN Bus Forum in Munich in 2018 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalark...516043310/
Yeah I know. Think you got confused there I was talking about deckers where the B8L is the current 3 axle decker vs the B5 being the 2 axle decker.
Be nice to get a more powerful Volvo bus again like the B9's and the B7TL (which shared the same engine with the B7RLE). The B8L and B8RLE both use the same engine (B8K). There's no real reason why they couldn't make a 2 axle B8TL. They'd be ideal for the likes of the X21 and the Transdev routes who are using ADL Enviros now.
Looks nice that MAN bus mind.
