Fifteen
It’s taken until the end of March for me to see my first 15-plate bus or coach but now I’m up to a whopping three, thanks to Metrobus’s latest batch of Enviro 200s which started trickling into service last weekend. I believe they’re branded for either the 200 (Horsham – Gatwick) or the 270 (East Grinstead – Brighton) services, although at least one is in an advertising livery for the company’s m-tickets. Here we see 6779 (YY15 GCX) with 270 branding. It’s nice to see a new, brighter livery from Metrobus after years of dreary dark blue and grey schemes, although I’m sure the lettering could have been better designed to avoid fouling the emergency door in the way it does. As with seemingly everyone else these days, they’ve also switched to white destination displays. Orange is so last year.
