Dennis Javelins P425 and P440 JDT have passed to NN Cresswell, Evesham.

I spotted a few more pictures of their new King Long vehicles on Flickr the other day. Although I'm still a little unsure about those coaches, it's good to see a company carefully expanding and consolidating its reputation when so many other, long established names are folding.

From what i've heard Prospect are to be the Uk dealer for King Long

Stuharris 6360

Just seen a new 63 reg Prospect Coach going through Lye, very smart, but was quite shocked to see it has centre doors as well as the front door?
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

I expect the centre door has a full disabled ramp and full width wheelchair access? I can't see from that picture but it looks like it has 2 door-service bus similar?)

Yes, was driving behind it last week and it has 2 doors that hinge out and presume it has a ramp as both doors had blue disabled stickers on
