Following the great success of the launch models of the Alexander Dennis Enviro400 in two different overall lengths, Creative Master Northcord Limited is pleased to announce the release of UK6017, the fourth dual-door, short-wheelbase Alexander Dennis Enviro400 model for a London operator, on this occasion in First London standard Transport for London livery. UK6017 represents fleet number DN33514 (LK08 FMX). The first Enviro400 buses to enter service with First were operated from Dagenham depot on newly awarded contracts but, in an unusual move, another 11 were delivered to Westbourne Park to improve the fleet, outside of any contractual arrangements. These 11 vehicles were primarily intended for route 23 (Westbourne Park to Liverpool Street Station) and were delivered with standard London specifications of white roofs and an upper deck air-chill system. The Alexander Dennis Enviro400 UK6017 is a one-piece casting whose clean lines accentuate the square-mounted, gasket windows and the livery application on which all logos and lettering are clearly legible. Another main feature on the UK6017 model is its dual individual tree protectors at the front. The front dome on the model is also significant, with its curved windscreen on the upper deck, together with the sun visor effect on both the upper deck and lower deck front windows. Creative Master Northcord is creating new design standards in the layout of the interior of both saloons. These features inside the compartments represent the really outstanding layout of the Enviro400, such as an additional seat behind the driving cab, additional ventilation equipment on the upper deck ceiling, and extensive portrayal of handrails on the upper and lower deck, etc. The headlights at the front are made of individual components to look more realistic. UK6017 will feature advert frames – represented by tampo-printing – in the special gold colour the CBS Outdoor offers to clients under the “London Gold” brand. London Gold is the name given to the buses that run on guaranteed, central London routes, that penetrate valuable West End, city and tourist hotspots.London bus route 23 vehicles are quite familiar to those bus model collectors who have collected CMNL models for many years. CMNL’s UK1018 features a Transbus ALX400-bodied Trident on route 23 in First London’s red livery with yellow and white side flashes. It is a long wheelbase Trident with one-piece front window on both upper deck and lower deck, which is unusual in London bus specification.
