[GB] Eclipse 2

You've seen this in Coach & Bus Expo last November, now Wright's 2nd generation "Millenium range" starts coming into service. Transdev Burnley & Pendle took 19 B7RLE/Eclipse 2 to renew their 7 year-old B10BLEs on the Mainline network, and launching a revised branding for the network. The colour scheme suits the bodywork better than the Lothian examples I think, and the colour LED blind is a nice touch as well.

What is the 'Hat' on the top for?

Overall, the bus looks good and perhaps KMB consider this when purchasing 2nd batch
of single decker

I still prefer the 1st generation. The position of the 'W' logo is a bit odd in this generation...

That's the cab air-cond, only works for the driver.

It's actually possible for KMB to have these, but as the Solar 2. However, Wright has never bodied the short Scanias - all the Solars they have built on the K230UBs are of the 12m version/

The quality and the design of the bodywork of Wright should be much better then that of Caetano,
thro it seems that the earlier generation of Solar did look better.

個W面罩放下面果舊組件好好多

I prefer this 2nd generation.  It is more reasonable to place the headlight units above the "bumper" area; and the W will not be painted over.  It looks good.
