Hi all I was wondering if any of you guys have seen the brand new Volvo Elite for National Express. As I've seen one today at Marble Arch while on the 23 and I must say it does look smashing. The LED blind is down the grill area. and it looks like a Versa with the oval roof. I've also captured the fleet number of the coach which i've spotted in Marble Arch: 53774, which is a 60 Reg. farm5.static.flickr.com/4144/4844853712_fc76f24d23_z.jpg |

I've seen this coach in the flesh passing through Forest Gate and Wanstead and believe me they are quite attractive coaches along with the Caetano Levante.

Sorry it was labelled "Selywns Plaxton Elite" but anyway i love the coaches, they pass right past my University and Plaxton has to be proud with what they have produced. Also the Plaxton Panther is going to get a restyle next year which will include an Elite style front end.

Sorry to bump this thread but Parks of Hamilton have just received some of these also for their Routes. I think the Craptano Levantes days could be numbered with 3 big players in National Express opting for Plaxton Elites (Stagecoach, Selywns and now Parks), hopefully more will also.

They have a 9 litre engine - I believe its the same one used in B9TL buses.
