A new 62 reg enviro 200 demostrator on the 40 yx62fdg

This is promising

That is the bus that was on the 40 today, leather seating and tinted windows. Needed a diamond logo somewhere though especially with NXWM using the same type of vehicle on the service. Not sure why they need the demonstrator as they already have an enviro 200 in the fleet even if it isn't one of the best.

Not sure of the fleet number for AE57FXW the smaller fleet name on the side look better but could do with some sort of slogan as it's very plain. Not sure if these b7rle are gonna be used on the 4 on a regular basis but apart from the 301 there's not much call for them on any other diamond services as both the 56 and 002 have their own centro's.

Sorry off topic a little but

are Diamonds Centros and NXWM Ominilinks the same length or are the ominilinks longer

[Ash]

NXWM omnilinks are B43F so can seat 43 passengers
Diamond full length centro's i.e. the royale ones can seat 45 passengers B45F

I mean i'm not sure but I would think the centro's are slightly longer.

[Tony]

Diamonds Centros are 12.1m long

That E200 looks fantastic :o

If you think the outside is good you should see the interior. If diamond get some they will probably order 1 lol.

I only had a quick glance inside through the tinted window as I was a 15 year old dart on the 4 at the time but I think it's high backed leather seats similar to the royale centro's.

It would be nice for diamond to buy some enviro 400s and more volvo b7rles but with two nice looking MAN/plaxton centros in this week's route one, do we think rotala could buy two more of these?

[Nathan4775]

I hope they do then hopefully they can replace some of the darts ?
