Hi Jack , Is the moderating team deleting all the operator threads and starting new ones? No, we're waiting to see if they can be restored. Are these just for the Stagecoach and Arriva threads or all of them Jack |

Since the last Arriva thread has disappeared in timebeing, I thought it would be useful to remind me us everyone what Arriva London currently have on order;
28 x ADL Enviro400H MMC for routes 202 and 405 (Fleet Codes: HT1-28)
22 x BYD/ADL Enviro400 City EV for route 319 (Fleet Codes: EA1-22)
As I have said before, I am very excited about these orders and can't wait to see these vehicles in person.

Indeed, I hope we see more MMC orders from Arriva whether it be the standard E40Hs or the Smart Hybrids as well. |

My excitement mainly comes from what the Arriva interior will look like on a MMC vehicle and a City vehicle. I'm hoping both batches of respective types feature the ivory poles. On another note, in terms of what operator has the best interior. It's between Abellio and Arriva for me. RATP's is great too. |

I think the Arriva interior is wonderful, especially with the Ivory poles. It just makes the bus feel so open and less cluttered when compared to the GAL or Metroline interiors. |

I just hope Arriva keep up specifying those little extras like glass partitions around doors that make their buses feel slightly higher quality than other operators |

I just hope Arriva keep up specifying those little extras like glass partitions around doors that make their buses feel slightly higher quality than other operators Coming from the East it's laughable that Arriva and higher quality are in the same sentence. They probably come up right at the bottom compared to Stagecoach, Go Ahead and Tower Transit who are all miles ahead. You always know that if you hear a completely off sounding bus approaching in the distance it's a 173 or 368. I am however aware Arriva further up North and down South, especially at Norwood do a good job at looking after their vehicles. |

Not a fan of the current RATP interior, very bland & dull - the bubbles interior on the ADE's was lovely and bright. I agree with Arriva & Abellio but my current favourite one is the Tower Transit retro one - love the green handrails. Not many like it but I think Go-Ahead & Metroline ones are decent but no more than that & Stagecoach's one is as lovely as ever. The interior on the LT, ST, VHP & VHR's is dull, not helped by the dingy lighting but is better on other vehicles. Of course, none of these is 1980's LT interior which, for me, is still the best interior. |

The other option is to go like the newest Smart Hybrids at TL, which are fitted out sub super-mini entry level. As much as I love Stagecoach, the level of fixtures and fitting is good d*mn poor by modern standards. As for seating layout, they are on a par with the early centre staircases LFDDs. |
