Why not try a Borismaster for couple of weeks!

@JoNi I reckon that a Borismaster is what PE are getting for Christmas.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

So does my missus


It doesn't look too bad from the rear LS.

A bus with multiple doors wouldn't be suitable to any Pensnett service, they all serve bus stations where it would be impossible to use the centre door.

So that rules the demonstrator out to then!

So we're agreed. When did you see her?

Here are a few shots of the bus  https://www.flickr.com/photos/dofartshavelumps/22007552532/in/album-72157632427995441/

So you know what bus they were talking about when the phrase "as ugly as the back end of a bus" was made

And the front end of the latest Gemini is even worse.

To be honest, with most of the recent designs, I actually think that the back ends of buses are starting to look better than the front! For example, the Enviro MMC range, Borismaster, Latest Wright Streetdeck, Streetlite etc, they all look better at the rear - although the Borismaster and latest Streetdeck are hideous entirely!

The latest Streetdeck looks like somebody stacked 2 Streetlites on top of each other and then crashed it hard into the London 2012 logo. I prefer the Gemini III and that version of the Streetdeck, they look so much better.

The E200MMC looks like somebody de-roofed an E400MMC then had a head on with a Borismaster.
I do however think the rear looks great on the MMC range and the E200MMC interior is a vast improvement over the old E200 interior and even more so than the previous one before that (pre-ECWVTA).
Does the E200MMC still have the interior windscreen glare issue when driving in the dark with the interior lights on like it's predecessor?

The Borismaster looks like an enlarged VW Camper Van with a Nissan badge on it (LT badge).

Looks like the Gemini 3 Demonstrator is still on Cap Gemini today at PB.
