MAX BRT Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Lots of the latest info on Alexander Dennis models can be found in this article. http://www.equities.com/news/headline-story?dt=2012-11-07&val=678354&cat=industrial They are selling a lot of Enviro500s to Hong Kong. The partnership with New Flyer for a midi bus for North America is mentioned. Can't wait to see that bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) http://en.wikipedia....ennis_Dominator Does anyone know if there were any legit 3-axle Dominators sold in the U.K.? Because, all information about it says most of the tri-axle Dennis double-deckers were imported to Hong Kong until the Trident III replaced the Dominator tri-axle version in 1997. I'm thinking the U.K. mostly buys 2-axle double-deckers. The Trident III was the first Dennis double-decker to be sold worldwide, including here in North America. ~Ben Edited November 28, 2012 by Benjamin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, 20 Dennis Dragons(tri-axle Dominators) were supplied to Stagecoach of Kenya, Africa during the early 90s, to replace the ex-Hong Kong 1960's Daimler CVG6 front engine double deckers. These buses were later sold back to Magicbus in England during the late 90s and were recently withdrawl from service The Dennis Trident III of BC Transit(#9001 to 9010) were the very first left hand drive Trident III being exported by Dennis, together with the 9 Enviro 500 of 2004(9041 to 9049) which are also the very first left hand drive Enviro 500 being built Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magicbus is a brand Stagecoach uses throughout the UK for "low cost" bus services, normally operated with older fully depreciated vehicles which parallel conventional services.

Flalex72 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I have to wonder if the more radical E400 redesign is so it stands out more from the New Bus For London. Both of the buses in the picture/rendering are London spec, it's probably the biggest E400 market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of the buses in the picture/rendering are London spec, it's probably the biggest E400 market. Additionally, Wright and Optare have recently released updated/new double deck buses. Here's an Enviro400 operating in Toronto (looks like they have 2). They appears to have the quick release glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centralsmt Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 The silver E400 is not London spec, it is single door. The biggest market for E400's are actually outside London now. The first examples are already in build for Oxford, there will also be some for Stagecoach on the redesigned Volvo hybrid chassis for use in Dundee, Scotland.

I didn't notice the door, but I did notice that they both had blinds rather than electronic destination signs (and the new white blinds too). I think London is just about alone in using those.
