Spot the difference

[mranon]

well, one is arriva the other nxwm. arriva one is a daf db250 (same chassis as nxwm's spectras) nxwm is a transbus trident. arriva one has odd layout & was dual door. nxwm has tree defender, and one you cant see in this pic, is the rear corner panels which contain rear lights are different, same as where rear reg plate is located etc.

The Arriva vehicle looks like the low height model too

[Sh4318]

The NXWM ALX has bigger black surrounds

The one that doesn't have working bell pushes is also a threadbare shed interior wise with a terrible seat layout and it sounds completely knackered and isn't suitable for interurban work, is wasted on Wednesfield routes which could be operated with a Ford Transit and it should be moved to Cannock immediately along with every other double decker in the country.

However, once there it would break down every day due to terrible maintenece and fitters not fixing buses properly, its timetables would be changed weekly without any posters on board or notices on the website. Eventually it would be put onto a new service going to Birmingham along the wrong route which would be withdrawn 6 months later.

However, if it arrived in Walsall and was painted red and white it would be a triumph to behold. It would be welcome in Cannock anytime and if only it would bring all its mates with their cheap Daysavers which you wouldn't be allowed to buy anyway.

It would then probably spontaneously combust like so many of its colleagues do on a monthly basis, but we won't talk about that.....

Whilst on the topic of displays, one of them is a flip dot, and the other, an led display, but in terms of similarities, both displays are made by Hanover! :D ::) :P

One Is Blue, One is red
The Blue bus doesn't have a N.S mirror
One has it's headlights on, the other doesn't
One bus has a lamp post growing out the roof
One has a 'Barge Board' the other doesn't need one
One goes to a nice area you'd like to live, the other goes to an area you'd be reluctant to cash in a winning lottery ticket
On the one bus people have in date passes, the other carries out of date family Daysavers
On the one bus most people sit downstairs & talk about the weather, on the other they sit upstairs listen to gangster rap and talk about the cheapest dealers and what is work?
The driver on the one bus earns more money than the driver on the other bus
The driver on the other bus is happier at work than the other driver earning more money
The driver of the one bus used to work for the company who owns the other bus
The driver who got sacked from the one bus company now can do the same thing at the other company but not get sacked
226 (work that one out (anyone with correct answer GOLD STAR!))

And the next spot the difference is

After seeing '30904' myself today the bosy is definately not the original, still could be legal if someone has done a body transplant. Might sound unlikely, but Fletchers at Burton on Trent did it with a knackared Mercedes Minibus ex Carlisle flood victim a few years back!

Ugh, what happened to that front end on 30904? Surely that wasn't standard?
