Please feel free, and leave suggestions

Metroline should switch Wright StreetLites and maybe getting Wright Streetdecks.

Metroline should switch Wright StreetLites. Ewwww why? The E200 is perfectly fine, no one wants shoddy StreetLites, that are about to break in to pieces after 2 months in service, infesting West London.

Metroline should switch Wright StreetLites and maybe getting Wright Streetdecks. To get some diversity in North West London.

Citaro C2's and the relevant variants. I don't personally mind Wright Streetlites as the single Decker variety atm is not wide.

We need something like a Solaris Urbino or a MAN Lion’s City to mix things up a bit.

A slightly frivilous (and part imaginary) answer - the new low floor Bristol RE / ECW. Ideal for routes like the 251 and 313. - the new Mark 7 Scania Metropolitan / MCW with extra rust protection - large batch due on the 123 next March apparently - the new Wright bodied Volvo Ailsa with dual staircases - loads of Mercedes Citaro hybrids - Irisbus Cetelis hybrids - VDL Citea hybrid single deckers - ideal for the H37 and 293 I can't really give you a serious response because I'm not terriby bothered about what bodywork operators buy. There is not a lot of uniqueness in vehicle designs these days nor that much variety really.

To get some diversity in North West London. We love our Streetlites so much on the 192 that we keep some of London's oldest Darts - the DMN's - in reserve in case some of them break down We don’t have many old Darts sticking around in North West London.

I assume this is a Fantasy thread? Article from Buses Magazine, May 2019 Are you sure that's not the APRIL edition?
