Exclusive Pictures Of The New Volvo B9TL/MCV DD Docklands Buses

Go Ahead are lucky to have been the first to resive 2 of these vehicles made by MCV & Volvo. The hole look of the bus is just amazing no one I know can see any floors in the the new product, I feel the let down is the Go Ahead colours if this was in stock red 10/10 I would give it. The reason of this bus being made is because Wright & ADL were full up with orders for the UK. The bus it self is 10.2m so its smaller than a Gemini2 but yet it has alot of leg space, walking space on the vehicle is more than enough in fact it has been tested 2 people can walk right past each other on the upper deck. The body it self is very stong for London's everyday passengers. The chassis it self is a Volvo B9TL with a 6sp ZF gearbox

From the from the front of the
 vehicle it looks aggressive with a more furture look of Londons buses, i mean just look at the lights and the Volvo sign.

For a 10.2m bus it looks longer than it does.T he Yellow LED runing lights going around the vehicle is a nice look.



Same Go Ahead  colours



The manager at SI was saying it could go on the olympic routes which is why some of the seats still have handles.

Air con will run through the whole vehicle even down stairs, with other buses now it would just be up stairs what would get the benefit.

Ibus screen  is integrated into the body




I really do like the Volvo sign of the front with other Volvo vehicles it would just be on the back.


The rear top back light i would make that into one LED light, i say that because how it looks now looks american.
The LED indicator is a honey cobe look which looks alot better than the first model of the mcv.
