This is going to be a bit of an empty discussion, as we'll only be seeing ADL buses for the next few years.

The Enviro400s are alright, and the Enviro200s aren't that bad (my own opinion, I've only travelled on a couple so far). However having travelled on some Wright Gemini 2 B9TLs in London, I'd like to have seen some up here.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Same as Stu really - Enviro 400s and 200s are ok.
If they hadn't have fallen out, and the bus now being discontinued, I'd liked to have seen more Scanias, both double deck and single deck. Other than Mercedes Citaros and Wright Gemini 2s.

Buses that are not from the crappy ADL. I would have liked NX to have the Wright buses...

I think that NX should buy some b8rle's soon!
I think that the volvo single Deckers are great!
Personally I think the E400's are the best DD but the Volvo DD's would be nice.
I'd also like some citaro's.

I Know that there are a small number if these left but bring back the b6s some new ones of course

They don't make them any more, haven't done since around 2002 ish

Virtual electric E400s.

I'm rather annoyed because I would've liked some b8rle's rather soon but I can only hope now for some,
I think it would be annoying if we have to much ADL in the fleet.

ADL body and Volvo chassis, for some 2001 simulated variation.

Brownie points for anybody who knows what I'm on about.

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
