Looks brilliant - can see why the engineers thought it was new!

4751 that does look  seriously impressive, make the most of it before it's infested with vinyl stickers.

And vandalism...

I can't wait to see what the 61 plate E400's would look like, with the revised headlight design, and slightly pointed bumper... Sure, to the untrained eye, it'll be "the same" - but honestly, I prefer that body design to the older trident ones. Also, if/when the Wrightbus vehicles get painted, i'm sure they'll look stunning with their 'curvy' exterior.

I think it was 4751 you saw, 4738 is still inside being done. here is the photo off my camera as opposed to a phone shot

It must have been, though I could of swore it was 4738 parked sideways by the paint shop shutter

when did they inter work  82/7

[2900]

82/87 first interworked about about 5 years a go on a Boxing Day service, that's when I thought this is a sign of things to come, a while later Sunday boards were done, then 2 or 3 years back Monday to saturday boards were done. Drivers were getting one hours travelling time to bearwood bus interchange, management were saying this can't go on any more. We were loving it, it made for excellent duties. There have been times I,ve forgotten to change service cause so use to it being run as an individual service, not much fun explaining to people you forgot change over.

@2900

WB must be getting a fair number of AG's Scanias in that case - will be good for WB to have some - beats the ADLs! AG/YW's Euro 5 batch are the best Scanias I've found.

ENVIRO city, it was like spot the MERC if you can
