Interesting to see the 347 is now (again) the main haunt for some of the oldest buses in the fleet, after the fanfare of the new Enviro200s three years ago. That said, and forget what they are licensed to carry, I suspect MANs can accomodate more standees than Enviro200s.

Only two of the oldest MANs remain at AZ along with a number of much younger 54 reg ones which also regularly work the 347. To be fair though the 347 has come along way in the last couple of years with Enviro400's the main stay on the service, obviously Enviro200's and MANs still do workings but it's not strictly Enviro200's like it was when they first arrived.
