Ex Sullivans E200MMC at MG WW66SUL Believe for Fasttrack Wonder how they’ll look like when they run on Fastrack routes cos I thought they were gonna use the GAL Commercials fleets or something |

I wonder if there’s the possibility of Go-Ahead returning some of the training MECs to public service temporarily on Fastrack?

Not only that, but I recall BBPG's MAL15 was once tested by KCC to evaluate the length with Fastrack infrastructure - and seemed to have done the routes multiple times no problem. |

I really hope one of the EBDs goes into service soon. Looking forward to seeing it for real and riding one. Appearantly one is to be trialled on the SL7. If so would that be the first in service I wonder? |

What's the status of the ex 507/521 SEes going onto the 108? how soon will they be entering service? There's no way they are still getting upseated, it's not the longest process so it should be done by now, and received a refurb anyway, I assume it's dependent on when the 108 moves to NX completely and will likely convert to a full D9UR operation. Seems to me as though the EBDs to be on the 321 seem more important than the 108! Also, I believe it is likely that all the EBDs will receive 74 plates, given BYD have gotten them all produced very quickly. The only one I see that could carry 25 plates, or even 75 are the 333's batch! |

Last one was done around mid July but that was later than the rest of the batch due to an incident whilst out of service, believe it needed a new front end. |

It’s probably the same as Chinese cars, very odd looking but they sure do know how to make an interior look nice. Whether it’ll be a case of style over substance is another matter! |

Speaking of the BD11, here's an interior picture found from instagram, grouped the three together! [IMAGE] Hate to say this: but this is an extremely nice looking interior, love it when light colours are used. It’s probably the same as Chinese cars, very odd looking but they sure do know how to make an interior look nice. Whether it’ll be a case of style over substance is another matter! I agree! Additionally, when the LED lights are on, which I believe this bus has similar to a BZL, and is not in a dim area with all the seats being covered, it will certainly stick out. An interesting thing to point out is how the Lazzerini seats have been designed with the Go Ahead moquette, I think it looks quite unique. I am hoping that the Wright Electroliners also receive Lazzerini seats! |

Don't suppose you could zoom into the original picture of the cab and tell us what the seating capacity is? |
