UK Euro bus expo- the HK/ E500 connection

The show was interesting; hopefully, we will see the 'London' Hybrid buses enter service in Jan 2009 onwards..

I now show the diagrams I got for the E500s destined for HK- the new orders for Citybus and NWFB.

The UK 12m long design is intended for First Glasgow.


again, sorry for the large size attachments- I wanted to show the design as clear as possible!

So...Is it means that if KMB buy Enviro500 in the future,
no straight staircase version is available?

Also, is there any specification of Enviro300 available?

Oh, the back door of 11.3m Enviro 500 is not behind the front wheel straight away...different to 14xx series...and Enviro 500 single door version? (typing mistakes?)

For 11.3M two doors version, one seat will be installed between the exit door and entry door. It is quite funny and similar to the seat arrangement of Leyland Victory MKII.

By the way, the figure of 12M version with single door has some mistake.
There is still an exit door.

I think the straight staircase should only suitable for two doors version,
since the passengers need to go back to the front door in order to get off the bus.
It is a little bit wasting the time.

True, very strange layout on the 11.3m version, wonder why they dont move the back door forward

And GO Transit's 12.8m Enviro 500 have single door and straight staircase as well..another weird design.

I think that ADL wanted to reserve a seat at SLF area, under the current configuration, it seems that it's not really possible to put a SLF seat after the door.

But I think this arrangement is adopted because of her plug door...

BTW, thanks yblumann, your sharing does count!

It has been clearly stated in the spec sheet:
Alternative seating and satircase layouts avaliavle which affect seating capacity
