Agreed, that looks fantastic.
It does look good, but it did previously as well, so I'm in two minds. However, it's got to be right that it's now in Helms livery.

I wouldn't say they're sheds to be fair. There a good bus and as someone mentioned , much better than the Solos they had, however I do agree with you on the Smoky bit, specially the Ex-MTL demonstrator doesn't half give off some smoke! I think that could be easily sorted by a filter clean or new exhaust fitted to LEZ compliant As much as they won't see London
They are on the slow side though the B6s, very tatty on the inside too!

Yes
think it depends what ones ive been on haha! Though the cushioning on the seats does need replacing tbh
AWW Only got painted as it had a minor bump and needed pannels replacing so Mr Cherry decided to get the bus painted up into fleet Livery. Looks very smart

Its not a bad ride either, i like the blue interior, much nicer than arrivas cross river and bootles ones!
Alexander Dennis Enviro200 demonstrator YK61 EKO was on the Chester City Rail Link yesterday.
