Plus they weren't included in previous polls as far as i'm aware apart from the StreetDeck/Gemini 3, so I decided to include them in.

Scania CityWide. Voted for the MCV, because the exterior reminds me of an OmniCity. From videos, though... it isn't half as brilliant as the mighty OmniCity, especially with a dull B9TL. I would of course love to see some StreetDecks and the return of the DD103s in London.

I'm getting used to the StreetDeck, having seen the sole example with Arriva in Derby, at least they put proper mirrors on it, but Wright should stop selling the old one alongside the new one, choose which model you will drop and be done with it MetroDecker will go the way of the Rapta, sorry Optare. Just drop the Optare name and use Ashok Leyland, more models will sell then I like the fact you can get the DB300 with the MCV body, but I've never seen one in the metal

It runs mostly on the 606 cross harbour route but ends up on some other services. photo link (not my photo but via a Flickr contact)

It's a shame TFL deemed it 'Overweight' at 12500 KGs, this is nonsense because the 08 reg Omnicities were 12520 KGs and they were in service operated by London United

After being notified that's it's not the new design of the MCV decker, I voted the Optare Metrodecker. Take out the stupid toilet style rear window and the ridiculously short upper deck front side windows and it would look excellent IMO. The other two choices I've no time for.
Shame the new MCV decker wasn't a choice because I'd choose that instead.

Shame the new MCV decker wasn't a choice because I'd choose that instead. That toilet style window puts me off big time lol, why couldn't Optare just fit a normal rear window. Is there a new MCV Decker? AFAIK this is the only MCV DD that exists, unless I'm mistaken.
