Whilst not the most attractive design, it's certainly not the worst! The interior seems nice, with high-backed seats and plenty of handrails near the doors, perfect for when the bus is at standing capacity. However, i'm a bit skeptical about the EYMS livery. It's certainly traditional, but in my opinion, it doesn't do the bus any favours.  :P

The Optare Rapta was one nice looking bus, shame it didn't get built

The interior looks nice, and the outside design is quite good, especially when compared to the Wright Streetdeck design. As for the EYMS livery, that is something that in my opinion has not looked good for a great number of years. To me it appears to be from a bygone era.

Very true, basic yet futuristic looking. I liked that design highly.

And, is it just me, or does the sides remind you of the HK Style Enviro 400? ???

@clayderman Yes I see it as well, thought it look familiar when I read the article earlier on.
