Are they out yet, the new Enviros?

Should of been today but as usual, not.

Keep an eye out on Sunday. That's the new date according to certain top people at BC..

Fair play.

If there is a gantry you can get yourself up to you'll get some nice shots.. IF the truth was spoken about the dates.

Unless they'll be waiting for all (18?) to be ready and the whole lot be put out on the road.

Some CP/Cov drivers aren't typed yet either.

Doesn't anyone else think, upon viewing these E40D's, they're uneven on the front end with the one tree bar? The ALX400 E400's with the twin bars were much better looking imho. (Not the headlights though)

Sorry, what do you mean by the ALX400 E400s? I didn't know you could get an Enviro400 chassis with ALX400 bodywork? Do you mean ALX400 Tridents?

BU07 LGO

Alx400 is the body as is the enviro 400 which succeeded it ;)

Sorry, wrong way around, Trident 2 E400's (The early Enviros), not ALX .. sod it - you knew what I meant haha

Cheers for the correction lol
