[GB] 尋找都城 (2B) : NX West Midlands - Metrobus DP

以前既豪華巴士, 而家既普通巴士 - Metrobus DP

據 BUSES 2008 講, 呢批一共 50 部, 車隊編號為 2911-2960 既 Metrobus DP
車係 WMT 為左拓展特快服務 TIMESAVER 而買番黎既, 當時成架車銀色, 幾型下

到左而家, 呢批車只剩 3 架, 好在小弟都影左 2 架, 雖然角度一樣咁滯, sorry



呢批車真係好易認, 因為佢個細牌箱
(係咪有種先入為主既感覺 - 細牌箱=舊? 但呢批車實質上比大牌箱 MK2 既都新)
佢地用既地點牌布都同 MK2/ 2A 唔同, MK2/ 2A 目的地牌布同途經地點牌布分開,
而呢批 DP 則合二為一

以前配 66 個高背座椅, 但係而家做返普通巴士, 配番 73 個普通座椅;
另外, 以內籠黎認, 呢批車既纖維件配色係比 MK2/ 2A sharp d, 用橙色

呢幾次去 Birmingham 影 MCW 最遣憾既係太遲先搵到呢批 Metrobus DP,
攪到影左兩張近乎一樣既相, 另外, guided busway 既"死剩種" 2971 亦見都未見過

小弟下個目標分別有 Centrebus (Leicester) 既, 同埋矮車身版既 Metrobus,
唔知前者係咪依然正常咁提供服務呢? 後者又可以去邊搵?
請高人指點, thx

These seats are superb and is the most comfortable seat I've ever encounter on a decker.

除左牌箱之外，呢批車外表上係咪同MK2/2A無咩大分別？

想問下HY2940點解同屬DP，但又用一個普通MK2殼？得佢一架還是仲有其他

DP (Dual-purpose in full) usually means buses fitted with coach seats, which has nothing to do with the bus body. In TWM's case the only exterior difference between normal Metros and DP Metros is the front blind box. The blind box of this 2940 was replaced probably following accidential damage.
