Face facts Davey, there will be no B8TL in the style of the B5TL - because it would mean taking more weight out of the chassis to fit the 8 litre engine and retain the weight saving, plus the cost to do so will likely outweight the orders for it (and before you bang on - First and Stagecoach are now set on E400s, Arriva are likewise going so, Go Ahead are taking the first E400MMC for Oxford and notice that the only real independent taking Volvos has been Delaine)

Yeah but Stagecoach have ordered Volvo B5LH's with the New E400 Bodywork in a Partnership between Volvo and Alexander Dennis, So surely that Partnership between Alexander and Volvo would allow for the B8TL to happen, and I would think Wrightbus would also have some input on this Partnership also.
