[edit] Opus 2

I've just added the Flyte and European to the template. I also notice the Opus 2 isn't on there, but I was unsure whether to add it, either separately or as part of the wikilink text for the Flyte, since I am led to believe that the Opus 2 was basically the same body as the Flyte apart from the front end styling. Hopefully someone who knows a bit more about them can decide what to do.

(Whilst we're on the subject I also don't entirely understand why the Flyte, which I understand to be a step-entrance body, was apparently built on the Scania L113CRL, a low floor chassis. Nottingham 640-642 and Arriva NW 1035-1040 are examples. Is it simply because it was cheaper than the European?)

And then of course there's the MaxCi, which I'd forgotten about, although that appears to be much the same as the European but for N113CRL instead of L113CRL. Should this be included too?

OK, good idea. I've never heard of the Opus Two, so I can't help there! Regaring the Flyte on a low floor chassis, these things always happen, a few mishaps are made through changing to a new model etc etc. -- Arriva 436 16:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
