For those who have seen the real Enviro 500 decker back in 2008.
The model of it just released on 11 September.

For those who interested, please PM me, I am going to do a bulk order through my friends who works as a dealer.

I ordered one from 80M, we have 70 Enviro 500s in Dublin, ours are Volvo, they are a great crowd shifter. Glasgow has 25 Dennis versions, has any operator taken any in Oz or do you know if any are ordered??? Big show in the heart of England next week, bus & coach expo Birmingham, I suspect the restyled Enviro 500 & the low height enviro 400 will be there. Delighted New Zealands 200s are in service, do you think Trux will commission one from CMN????

No, there are none in service in Australia or ordered, they are built to wide for Australian standards and the governing bodies here are useless, they cant change their regulations to meet the standards for europe.

There is however a re-bodied Enviro 500 with Rockleigh Tours in Victoria, has a NZ body.

The Enviro 500 with Kiwi body is not a rebody.

Btw, for those who have put in the order with me for the models, they should be arrived in Sydney by the end of November.

Hi Wyth, no it's not in any livery of a company in Aus - it was a demonstrator vehicle supplied to Aus for evaluation by companies and road authorities. The livery was done by Alexander Dennis.

Job done.
