BU07 LGO

4718 is my favourite, love the toothpaste livery and the older style enviro with the curved rear window upstairs, and it sounds the best, got a nice whine when it accelerates

4480 is also quite favourable because it was the scorpio bus when they had the star signs

craighu

I always had a soft spot for B10L 1472 in toothpaste livery when at PB...was sorry when it was withdrawn (prematurely in my humble opinion!;-) as it often took me to work and back on the 28.

Nowadays I guess PB 4698 is my favourite...slightly different I believe to the main production Enviro 400s.

JK6015

My favourite is 6013 because new engine and fast speed. My second is 6004.

I always love and favourite is 6003, 6004, 6005, 6006, and 6008 but My best BB is 6004.

Dislike: All types of Double Decker.

I quite like SD is 0405N only.
I hate a Double Decker!!!
6003 T603 MOA  6004 T604 MOA  6005 T605 MOA 6008 T608 MOA  6012 BJ03 ESN 6013 BJ03 ESU 6015 BJ03 ESY!
All of 6001-6011 & 6012-6021 are best in our fleet!! I miss too much 6004 and 6005!!<3 <3

*Double Decker should be banned in UK!!*

Mine isn't a NXWM bus per se but a ex Travel Merry Hill bus - 253 P253RUM and friends. Can't beat the Plaxton Beaver Mercs

I am the same plus all B10L's

Look who's back!

I don't have any current favourites really. All mine went for scrap years ago.

I do like the ex LH 44** tridents and ex LH 16** mercs. But nothing has the Wow factor at the moment.

The Real 4778

The Mercs, as they're a dwindling species with a sense of old school raw power about them.

4777-81 because they're very different with a bit of character, stand out from the herd, and they repeat ex-SN garage Volvo numbers.

The prototypes - 4697 and 4698. 

That is all.  The rest is just so much plastic, painted in a cheap and nasty non-livery.
Don't you start.

4579 sounds really good and is one of the last in 126 branding

Couldn't agree more Jack :) The Metrobuses were fantastic buses 2832 and 2905 were my favourites I still miss all the AG Metros til this day

Just imagine if for one day they could bring back the metrobuses. That would be fantastic ::)

The 03 Plate Geminis (particually the PB refurbished examples), looks as modern as the E400's but with better build quality.

Probably favourite current bus is 1922 is YW

If you haven't already, I'd recommend a ride on 1926.

Sh4318

I think it's a bit unfair that we can pick two choices in the poll. My favourite's obviously going to be the Tridents, but I like the B7s and the Enviros :P

Its also worth pointing out ALX400 can cover 2 completely different vehicle types, as can Dennis Trident 2
