Looks good, much better than the cheap and tacky looking mk.1 E400. Won't mind seeing these pounding the streets of London.

Should this be in the Vehicles section ? It looks so good. Going to be an awesome time riding these buses daily on route 109 next year. 5 extra seats on a hybrid version too, should relieve overcrowding on the 109 for a minute or two

Far better than the horrid Gemini 3 but not as nice as the Mk 1 Enviro 400. In case anyone is interested, my main reservations with the new Enviro 400 over the old one is the lower part of the front underneath the windscreen - would of preferred an adaption of the old front. The top of the front from the blind upwards looks good enough for me. My other reservation is I liked the 'semi-circle' sort of shaped front upstairs windows on the near & offside - those two windows now look a little dull. I'll be interested to see the rear as it seems from the picture on ADL's site that they've returned to the full length upstairs window that is on the early Enviro 400's.

Not bad no scratch on the mk1 Enviro400 but not bad. Is the E200 getting a new look? And what length is the Enviro400 (Euro6)?

Yes the E200 is getting a new look too and taking a wild guess it looks to me like the length will be a 10.8m. This theory is supported by the "extra seats" the new Enviro 400 will have. Also, I have to say again. ADL have outdone themselves with this specimen of a bus. It is an absolute beaut.

One of the sad things is that five years after delivery to London they may get refurbished with an all red front. I doubt this as it look the "London version" of the Enviro400 looks official. Also with the LTs having black surrounds. I don't think TfL will hace a problem with it. To be honest, the black surrounds make it look more classier, this is also the case for the LTs.

But a lot of buses in London are refurbished at The Trim, which paints over all the black parts even on non London buses

However, I am not sure if those DWs got the refurbishment treatment at the Trim.

Agreed and I did think this last night.....moved!
TBH the only thing that stopped me was that it is not a London vehicle....yet. However as the images show the bus in red/London Spec I think we can move here and assume some or a demo bus will be on the way at some point.....

Won't mind seeing these at AV come 2017, and yes it is growing on me!
