There are hybrids on the 129 and 360 (single decks) and a lone Wright
Hybrid double deck on the 141 (I believe). There are a number of
orders outstanding including some Enviro 400 double decks for the 16

I've seen Enviro 400s near where I live (can't miss them , its
emblazened over the back). They're just normal diesels with some extra
exhaust scrubbing arn't they?

Hybrid versions are being developed by Alexander Dennis - no idea
whether there will be any visual clues (other than livery) to
distinguish them from a diesel bus.

The Wright decker on the 141 looks just like any other Wright Gemini
(Volvo chassis) / Wright Pulsar (DAF chassis) double deck other than the
green "environmental" livery.
