/photo/1 ENL80/81 under their new lives About time the Eden Project got some shuttle buses which there was a severe lack of when I went there in July. On the subject of ENL’s, I saw ENL40 at Manchester Airport Bus Station this afternoon in its new life with Go Goodwins. It has a new private reg too, 330GGX which people on Flickr seem to believe is ENL34, however as I was reversing out the bus station onboard another bus, I could just about make out on the rear that it was ENL40. I only been to Eden project once, about 16 years ago, and I am sure they had 18m articulated buses on the shuttles, wonder why they have gone for such short buses now. Used to be yellow colour with grey skirt, but looks like now using London red |

Used to be yellow colour with grey skirt, but looks like now using London red I don't think it would've been 16 years ago they had 18m buses, didn't they get them from the London Bendy routes? That would've been more a dozen years ago but yes interesting how they went for E200s instead. Perhaps it could be due to COVID? Also were the Articulated buses always that full...they would've been an enthusiasts paradise but I don't know if they would be that full?
Also I believe these might get repainted.

The original bendies on the Eden Project service weren't ex-London. Truronian took 3 new Citaro-Gs for the service in 2006 (nearly 16 years ago, but not quite). These were given cherished regs AN/BN/CN02EDN transferred from the previous vehicles (rigid Enviro300s) making them look older than they really were.
After First took over, those Citaros were returned off-lease and ended up with Uno (reregistered MH06YJD/E/F). They were replaced by artics transferred in from elsewhere. No idea when they stopped using artics.

Interesting and they stopped using them just before COVID. |

Completely butchered the natural lines of the E200 body with that application of their livery ... not really a fan. Does not immediately hit me as say this is a E200 MMC ... intial reaction was some taken a Caetano Compass and morphed it on 20 years. |
