There was a BD11 at New Cross Gate Station, I am unsure if it is still there but here is a picture of it. I believe this could be a demonstrator vehicle given the fact it doesn't look like it has the Go Ahead London interior, but either way it could be introduced later on to the 321 and later ordered. UNO now cannibalising their BYD electrics after such a short life should serve as a warning to anyone tempted in. They look cheap and no doubt are. To be fair they were experimental vehicles. I think any model now will be vastly superior to those old ones

I very much like the look of this vehicle. I like the fully bonded glass windows, not a fan of gaskets. I like the headlights, here they look aesthetic and modern. I also like the clever use of black against the red. I’m not sure if it will look as good without windows on the staircase but that’s an issue to decide after I’ve seen the full production model. Overall I like it, certainly more than I like the now tired looking Wright offering. I think it's merely ok - I don't like the hopper windows design, they look awful, I don't like the very small side windows at the upstairs rear and the windows on the staircase don't look as flush as they do on LT's. Not a horrible design by any means but certainly nowhere near the ADL or Wrightbus designs - the new front on the Wrightbus Electroliners looks better than the old and it's still the best electric double decker I've used thus far.

I think it’s not as hideous as it seemed in the previous images but I’m still not a fan of the design and is definitely a downgrade appearance-wise

On a 93 which is going to Lower Morden, Woodstock. Must be a new name for the previous Sutton Common Road, Woodstock turn.

Lower Morden, Tudor Drive would make far more sense seeing as most associate the Woodstock with the pub that closed and was demolished a decade ago. Even though it is a name for a tiny road just off Sutton Common Road.

Its stopped tracking at Sutton Marshalls Road, apparently got subbed by a DOE after having to fill in for EL1. I've also seen a photo of it
