Looks good! Are they Hybrid Deisel? Do the passenger info displays work in the interior of the bus to display next stop information?

(A) Regular Euro VI Scania K320UB. Exactly like the other 82 we've already got.

(B) Will have full NXTBUS functionality -  like all the rest. (Which includes stop name display and announcements.)

The ACTION logo is perfectly positioned for a 'Member of CDC' sticker to fit right over it!

The livery looks really boring and the bike rack really doesn't seem to "fit" the bus.

Another Euro 6 with a different design, well I'll have to start making 2 new drawing sets when the AVASS come out too. I'll give this one a go a little later.
You didn't get a picture of it with its doors closed by any chance did you?

I totally agree, although a yellow rack probably wouldn't look as good either
