Sorry, should have made myself clearer - I think it's a great
design too, I'd say certainly one of the most striking bus bodies

remember reading somewhere that people have been overheard
commenting on the looks (favourably).


It certainly looks very striking, but why does it have a handrail
on the near side upper deck?
