I think this should be in the Buses and their bits section of the Forum

It's actually the Wrightbus WBE300 available on VDL or Volvo chasis Wink Laugh

There's a shorter WBE200 available on Dart chasis a WBE100 minibus and a WBE400 on Trident, Volvo or VDL

Thread moved into the Buses And Their Bits section

I quite like the new front end design personally - it's different and it also bears a strong resemblance to the Alexander ALX300 (which I think is great). I don't think this design theme suits the StreetVibe (the narrow variant of the StreetLite) in the slightest - it's made the StreetLite look worse in my opinion

It is ugly. Then again, the new front end designs of everything Wrights has introduced over the last couple of years have been ugly, looking like something East Lancs cobbled together back in the 1980s. Angles just aren't modern looking.

I think the angular looks fine on a single decker , but put that angular look on a double decker it just doesn't look right .
