This year maybe interesting to see what First Group decide to order in double deckers the favourite is likely to be the Wright Streetdeck picture below, although the bus above a Volvo B5TL/Wrightbus Gemini 3 BF63 HDC on loan at First Manchester may sway there minds? The Volvo B5TL from information gained is more fuel greedy than than the Streetdeck, or could the new look Enviro 400 from AD, be an option, lately First Group have moved away from both the E200/300/400 and buying the Wright Streetlite although many commentators dislike them, the proof suggests that they are more economical than the competition including the Volvo B7RLE which garnered no orders last year.

The rather impressive AD E400 has been radically upgraded for the 2nd incarnation, with new front profile and will be free from the usual rattles associated with this type. Seen here with Stagecoach Manchester is SL64 HZN 10406

This is most likely to be the popular choice for First the New Streetdeck from Wrightbus 35102 SN64 CSO.
