Forest Coach Lines new MAN/Gemilang Deckers

[Tim Williams]

Forest's MD announced in November 2016 that they had ordered 3x MAN A95 double deckers and that they would be in service before the B-Line service commenced.

Any news of these 3 buses?

Thanks.

Though I saw a Forest DD last time I did cross regional at Olympic Park. too busy manoeuvring through the site to pay much attention to detail (I think it was 15.11.17 for a soccer friendly).

THanks,

They operate 2 x Bustech CDI's and the "prototype MAN/Gemilang sported a Forest Logo at one stage. I believe that particular bus was only 4.2Mtrs tall and was critisised for its upper deck headroom.

Word is they have not been completed in the factory as yet.

Correct, the issue with the prototype was the lack of headroom on the upper deck.

Did Transdev also give this unit a very quick evaluation?

So does anyone know when we can expect the new DD's to arrive at Forest?

Now that the 6 x MAN A95's of Forest are shown as delivered - have any entered service as yet?? If so, how about some photos!!!

These buses must have had the longest gestation in history!!!!
