I'm guessing the Enviro 300 will also recieve a makeover too so it ties in with the new models

[Liverpool Street]

Those E200's are horrendous, both from [I presume] a drivers perspective and definitely as a passenger. Worst bus in the fleet - I do sincerely hope the 'new' E200 is much more stable, and quicker. The Volvo B6 is a much better bus in comparison!

Rode one of BC's Enviro 200s today for the first time; I have to agree that the Volvo B6s are better! There was a loud buzzing noise continuously and there was a loud rattling from the panels at the front by the cab. They had better improve the model!

Isnt the enviro200 essentially just a revamped crap Dart anyway?  Lol

In the same way they're both midi-buses, essentially, yes.

Saying that I think that even Pointer's are better then those E200's.

You can guess I don't like E200's hahahaa

I personally have grown to like E200's. The problem is, some seem to rattle like mad. I was on an abellio one not long back and literally got off with a headache from all the noise whereas Diamond 30929 for example doesn't have a single rattle?

Generally, I prefer euro2 darts to both euro3 darts and E200's but E200's over streetlites ANY DAY!!

[Liberator9]

Yeah; it did remind me of a Dart - forever rattling! Never travelled on a Streetlite @DiamondDart but the Silverline engines sound loud.

[Bob]

Are streetlites really so bad then? Some people have said theyre really horrendous and others have said positive stuff about them. I can only go on the YouTube videos ive seen,  they seem really really noisy and rattly. Cant see, with all the noise how they can make for a pleasant bus to travel on on locals let alone premium ( ahem, inverted commas) service.  One things for sure though theyre incredibly ugly!

The appearance is alright, in my opinion, but It's probably a step too far. You know something's wrong when the Volvo B5HL looks better and more in place at Wrightbus than the Streetlites do! lol :D

[Liverpool Street]

Even the Streetlites have their market though. [Hoppa buses for Morrisons maybe? haha] The downside is, they've been put together in a slap-dash fashion - IMHO.

To be fair though, the above is coming straight from a bloke who can't make up his mind if he likes the B7RLE or not... So it's probably best to take it with a pinch of salt.

[Bob]

Ok...B7RLe vs Sb200. ......which ones the best....just for fun lol

[Trident 4609]

Both are plastic crap lol ;D

[Bob]

Least the B7RLE is quiet plastic that can get up a hill lol

[Liberator9]

The 56 reg B7RLE (wright eclipse urban 1) models would be much better than both the Enviro 200s and the newer B7RLEs. The 12 reg B7RLEs aren't that bad; ride smoothly and the one I rode yesterday didn't rattle much at all, with the engine lifeless, but quiet; so beats the E200s.
