Horrendous as it is, I quite like it. Despite the front being from the older models. In my opinion, if they redesigned the whole thing and renamed it, it probably would've stood a chance of more people liking it...

You'll probably find those upper saloon windows are the same dimensions as the old MCW Metrobus saloon windows, or not far off.

Optical illusions.

As someone posted above, if the red on the rear continued around the destination at the rear, it'll look better.

Too much blacks on the back there.

I'd like to think NXWM have more sense than to invest in them  ;)

I pray the answer to that is no :P

No... I'm hoping NX are standardising on ADL for new bus orders. If we have to have more hybrids (!), then let them be Enviros. I'm still living on the hope of Enviro300s as well.

I second that! Would also like to see some more new Voith buses in the fleet :P

Really hoping none of these are ordered they look hideous. Enviro300s would be nice or even some enviro350h's would be brilliant. I hardly think NX would be foolish enough to buy euro6 geminis.

Well there was that one with Suits on board at BC...

I've sat in the cab of an Enviro350H, fantastic looking thing and had a lovely interior. It would make my day to have some in Birmingham.

E350Hs please :-) (with them painted like http://s252.photobucket.com/user/kentish121/media/ADLEnviro200TravelWMHybrid2.png.html please?)

They are fantastic buses and really clever with a flat floor right to the back of the vehicle. The stagecoach gold ones look fantastic. I'm yet to be convinced that wright pulsar 2's are good having been on them a lot recently... I'm a big fan of the old generation enviro300 as well-the first/diamond ones-they sound brilliant but I wonder if the new ones sound similar as I've never been on one.
