Two new models were released on 14th August, whilst I was away on holiday, hence the delay in reporting these. Both feature Enviro500 bodied Volvo B9TLs, the first represents Kowloon Motor Bus AVBE64 (NC5256) on route 904 to Lai Chi Kok (KMB2025018) whilst the Long Win example features 708 (NF9046) on route E31 to Tung Chung Yat Tung Estate (KMB2025019). Each is limited to 1,000 pieces. New pages and further photographs will be added shortly. 17th August

Following
on from
yesterday's news update, I believe at least ten Kowloon Motor Bus
Enviro500s have been converted to open-top, many of which have been
operating route HK1 in rather wet conditions today.
An opportunity for a new
model or two!!

Kowloon Motor Bus launches open-top double-deckers on its sightseeing route HK1 tomorrow (Sunday, 3rd). Four Alexander Dennis Enviro500s have been converted to open top and these carry four different liveries, reflecting the changes in the exterior design of KMB’s fleet – the retired “hot dog” and red and white buses introduced in the 1980s, the golden design launched in 1997, and the latest red livery introduced in 2017.
On the subject of open-toppers, Citybus Alexander Dennis Enviro500 50900 (PR7978) has received all-over decals for Liverpool, winners of the English Premier League, while Gemilang bodied MAN A95 TJ6055, which belongs to New China Lane Travel, carries Tottenham Hotspur all-over decals, marking the team's success in winning the UEFA Europa League.
