Would definitely win orders from GNE!
Wrightbus do offer a 12m version with a Double Rear Axle for the Hong Kong market alongside a 12.8m version.
I believe Alexander Dennis and MCV also offer the same with their Bodywork applied.
Lothian Buses have ordered 60 12.8m Single Door version with Alexander Dennis in the last week, so I guess if there is demand from operators then they'll happily build them if they're big orders otherwise if your like Shitty Transport and your begging for just one then it's not worthwhile.
