Am hoping (perhaps very likely?) a handful will enter service before Saturday.

It appears that the partly covered black rear is a design trend on new buses these days. The MHVs rock them really well like the MMCs, the same can't be said for the Gemini 3s on the other hand.

I wonder if Q will keep the new buses strictly on routes 35 /40. Allocations at Q are rather mixed on all dd routes.

Is it me or does the rear of the MHV share a tiny resemblance with the Titans rear - long thin looking upper window with a square shaped window to one side. The Evoseti & MMC certainly look great with the black sections.

LOL yes Q is rather fond of mixing types - I guess the only thing stopping this in the short term will be blinds on the older buses need updating.

At least some of the PVLs may still have the 35 and 40 from seven years ago.

I agree, also it's easier to confuse it with the 68 when seeing it far away.

Does look nice but don't be surprised that in 5-7 years should they retain the routes these buses could possibly loose the black rear surroundings courtasy of Hants & Dorset Trim Ltd.

I certainly hope not! This mistake was already made with the DWs which also looked great with the black surrounds.

We may find out soon with Abellio's fire victim 2498 when it's returned from repairs.

Go-Ahead sure got a bunch of great looking buses. It's bank holiday weekend coming up and I may be tempted to ride on the new EvoSetis!
I like the rear of both the MMC and especially the EvoSeti - I do think the all-red on the buses these days looks a lot more smart and pronounced with a bit of black here and there to compliment the look (such as the 27s ADHs and W's TEHs). I think that's why I like the look of Metroline/Go-Ahead's/TT's Gemini 3s, while I think London United's VHs are really ugly.
