Arriva Yorkshire (Belle Isle) currently have a Wrightbus Streetlite on demo. BRZ9662 is currently being used for driver familiarisation before going out in service towards the end of the week.

Penfold Why when the ones at Belle Isle have just gone through a refurbish, would now be a costly exercise. A bit like forking out for some retrimmed seats for a preserved Olympian then scrapping it! |

Dont ALD do a SWB E200, originally called the Enviro Dart. I think these were the same size as the Plaxton MPD. Or are they no longer in production?.

Arriva Wales have had a influx of MPD's from other areas in the past year, So being speculative, Id dare suggest some may end up there. |

there more than likely will replace the ALX 200, not a lot of refurbishment has gone into these compared to the Plaxton MPD

The Streetlite Door Forward looks a better vehicle and I reckon will sell better than the one currently on demonstration.
