There's only the current 14 short E200's due at present. They will be replacing Solo's & Dart SLF/ALX200's.

Thanks winston. Iv' not seen any in service yet but I expect they may be in use at WB on the evening 5 services as most of the 8xx series do already.

Are these 14 of the 9.3m long variety?

I think they're more likely 8.9M, equivalent to MPD's

Stuharris 6360

London Bus News are reporting that they are 9.6M,(although why London should know before us i don't know)
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Have they got the new automated manual gearbox that Arriva is having in its E200s?
