The B8 Seats 45 the E200 Seats between 33 and 39

Standing capacity on the B8 is much more as well

What would you show you from an open top that couldn't be done from an old disused Euro 6 Double Decker

Well the Glasgow open toppers attract a good crowd and bring enough in to support 9 brand new electric open toppers, and Glasgow has never been known as the biggest tourist attraction city in Scotland.

Here's a photo I took last week of one almost full

Possibly the size of bus required is included in the contracts although I'm not sure if there is much difference between a B8 and an E200.

There does need to be some open top buses though, to show the sites of Birmingham and the Black Country (sorry Sandy Lane, Coventry is getting ignored again).

OBC have even got electric open top buses in use in Oxford, although I've only ever seen them when it has been pissing it down.

Its OK, we are used to this situation!
Perhaps if open tops ever come about, Coventry could borrow one to show the TfWM people where we are?
