The gemini3 is one handsome looking bus. It fits the bill in most depatments, quiet and quick. I only hope they keep it like it is now not like the streetdeck. That is epicly ugly and looks like a dalek has mated with a wardrobe.

The grand MMC. I love these vehicles so much, they provide such a comfortable ride and the engine sounds are awesome. Glad they are my local route as I have to get on them everyday .

Ive just spoken to a pal of mine. He reckons that NBFL or statins as we call them are the way forward. I totally disagree.

Dont get me wrong i really dont mind LT's its just its such an unconventional design. I just think the traditional designs are far superior.

The Enviro 400 MMC - only because I don't regard the original design as new. It looks stunning especially when next to either Gemini3 design. It has few, if any rattles, nice legroom and is comfortable. But using vehicles still in production and predecessors, I rank them as follows:
The original Enviro 400 The Enviro 400 MMC The Gemini2 The Omnicity DD The new MCV decker The Scania Citywide The original Gemini3 The original MCV decker The redesigned Gemini3 & the NBfL are tied last as I can't which one I don't particularly like more.

My ranking:
1. Enviro 400 MMC 2. Enviro 400 Mk1 3. Gemini 3 with the large side windows 4. NB4L 5. Hideous Streetdeck
There is no voting option above for the new Optare Metrodecker which IMO is the prettiest of the three recent launches.
The NB4L has the most unappealing engine sound: a sort of un-rhythmical putt-putting noise.

For me it's as follows: -Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 pre-redesign, (aka the original Gemini 3) -Enviro 400 MMC -NB4L (Juuussst about beat the Streetdeck) -Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 post-redesign (I take it you mean the Streetdeck) -Enviro 400 And if you add the Volvo MCV B9TL and Optare Metrodecker I would rank them 2nd and 4th respectively

Shouldn't the Gemini 2 be on that list, along side the Enviro400?
And why on earth do people like the MMC so much? It's ugly! *pukes a little*

And why on earth do people like the MMC so much? It's ugly! *pukes a little* For me I think the Enviro 400 Mk1 looks better than the MMC. The design has more of a natural flow and harmony between all the stylistic curves. I ranked the MMC higher though because improvements in all other areas - just not the design
