The MCV gets my vote apart from the front and a little bit at the back. The revised Metrodecker isn't half bad apart from the window (the MetroCity has a 'normal' window at the rear). I also am a fan of B9TLs as they're smoother than the E400. I would ideally like a two axle London version of this (photo by 'km30192002' from flickr) |

Another ScaniaFan - WoopWoop I do like to drive Scanias, there's not so good as a passenger but Scanias are drivers buses. That is true, the N230 Omnicities are especially ergonomic. That said, give me a N94UD Omnicity anyday! |

But As A Passenger (Rarely), iLove Them - Especially The Euro5. iDon't Know What It Is About The Euro4//5's, But I'm Hooked On The Engine Sound And Amazing Gear Changes Loooool |

As a passenger I love the Omnicities (N94UD and N230) and the Olympus for their design, smooth ride and quick pace. That Buzzsaw sound of the Olympus is pretty cool!. Their tough suspension is the only negative for me.

Optare Metrodecker won my vote because of the pretty design. Surprised it hasn't gained much interest considering it is sub-10 tonnes to TFL spec which is quite an achievement. Does anyone know if the TFL spec one is due for trials with any of London's operators?

I like the fact you can get the DB300 with the MCV body, but I've never seen one in the metal  AFAIK there is only one such bus in existence - with KMB in Hong Kong as their AMC1. 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) There was a bus rally in Hong Kong on 15/3/15. There are some more shots of AMC1 including cab and interior. link - page down to the appropriate photos. |
