Just had a look at it rather intresting looking bus with glass roof and glass stairwell also it has Mobitec Destinations instead of Hanover Destinations

There seems to be a trend now in new Double Deckers for Glass Stairwells as this is also the case with the new Enviro 400 City.

Arriva was using it at St Helens a few months ago, on the 10/10A. Apparently it was numbered 7922 but not carried.

The Envir400City has it spot on in my opinion in regards to glass stairwell, the Gemini/Streetdeck glass stairwells just don't look right.

Completely agree. I think the Enviro400 City looks much better than both the StreetDeck and New Routemaster

Great! If you're able to post any times, I would appreciate it as I may head out for a shot or two!

Cheers

80027 ran the same board every day, which worked the last stagecoach 71/72 of the day. I'd take a guess and say it'd be on that.

I'm told it did not make it out today.

I am no longer active on this forum.

Spotted in the narrow bit between the yard & exit gate with a few drivers looking round it when I drove past about 1530.

Was used as a spare and went on 471/2 yesterday afternoon after a Enviro400 broke down

As from today (Saturday) it's on allocated boards
