Which bus that's not currently available in right hand drive format would you like to see over here? For me it's got to be the Solaris Urbino 4th generation. Such a cool looking bus. Love the sloped windscreen and the funky wheel arches. www.busandcoachbuyer.com/new-generation-solaris-urbino-range/Any others? |

The MAN Lion's City range is pretty neat too. We definitely need more variety here to break up the monotony of ADL rubbish 💩 |

Following on from my frequent trips to Torrevieja, Spain back between 2002-2008, the local operator - Costazul's mainstay of the fleet were Iveco Cityclass with Noge Cittour bodywork, I became rather fond of these over the years. Would of loved to of seen these made for the UK market. www.arca-bus.org/web_antiga/foto_bus/foto_bus_espanya/torrevieja/pages/03.htmwww.flickr.com/photos/62959794@N06/15692321722/in/album-72157646765209083/ - Interior The vehicle in the above photo's, No.186, 9753BFR, was the vehicle I travelled on for probably 80% of all my bus journeys made during the above period. After recently chatting with a contact on Flickr, I was gutted to find it's recently been withdrawn after 16yrs service. As is usual with me, I failed to get any decent photo's of it, as I always thought I'd go back at least one last time to get some snaps of it! Too late now! Also am rather fond of the Castrosua bodywork range, wouldn't mind seeing these other on these shores. Notably the Castrosua CS40 City II : www.arca-bus.org/web_antiga/foto_bus/foto_bus_espanya/torrevieja/pages/02.htmwww.flickr.com/photos/buspmi/21011530406/in/faves-62959794@N06/ |

Here's a CS40 City II on these shores: www.flickr.com/photos/35618528@N04/3856155075It has now been reregistered L55BUS with South West Coaches. The comment about it being "awful to ride on" has probably more to do with the god-awful seats that were fitted to the bus - not sure why they chose such awful seats for a demonstrator. Shame it remained a one-off. I'm sure it would have been a better option for the N94UB chassis than the East Lancs offering. |

We definitely need more variety here to break up the monotony of ADL rubbish 💩 We did have a MAN Lion City lookalike in the form of provincial demonstrator RX07RKV which is a MAN ND283F with an East Lancs Kinetec+ and was new to Reading Buses. According to Wikipedia, London was meant to get a demonstrator but it never materialised - www.flickr.com/photos/mcw1987/4890475352/in/photolist-CkTy22-CkTyhc-BUEWT8-CiBh9L-Ctbf3e-8s9XWy-CkTwz4 |

More, more Citaros, MAN Lions Cities, Solaris Urbinos rather than this MMC/Streelite rubbish now forming the next gen of busses of London.

Whilst the Streetlites question marks are growing, the MMC Enviro 200 isn't rubbish - not only does it look nice, it's lovely to use as a passenger unlike the predecessor Enviro 200 which was an absolute heap of a bus with legroom obviously an afterthought. Btw, I thought this thread was for buses we'd like to see in the U.K.? The Citaro is already in this country in good solid numbers so don't understand why it's been mentioned. |

That was the only thing I found to let them down. |
