There is a massive difference between the Original Alexander Dennis Enviro, and the newer model, which is the Alexander Dennis Enviro 200 MMC.
First of all, I have looked on Flickr to see if the MMC was out, which it was, so I headed down to Tower Ramparts in the afternoon, however, I got the Original Enviro 200 from Maidenhall Approach to the town centre. After getting off IB 101, I saw another bus enthusiast, though he was from Brighton in East Sussex, and I said to him, 'have you seen the MMC?'. He said to me, 'you have just missed it'. So in the meantime, I decided to test my new tablet by taking some pictures of random IB buses, however, the camera which is built in to my tablet doesn't get excellent picture quality, as I had to get close to any bus to get a good quality photograph.
I saw the E200 MMC approaching Tower Rampart, so I went to wait for it, which I didn't have to wait very long to get on. (routes 9 & 10)
Once I got on, there was quite a lot a difference on the MMC, because:
A: the engine sounded different, as it has a Euro 6 engine, as the Original has Euro 5 engine, which Euro 6 makes good emissions against the Euro 5, which also gives good emissions.
B: the bell is quite different, because the MMC had a kind of a doorbell sound, while the Original has just a 'ding' sound.
C: the MMC had built in USB/WI-FI, as well as a TV, while the original E200 doesn't have that installed.
D: the MMC is longer and takes more capacity, while the original E200 takes 39 people, and it wasn't long as the MMC.
E: the MMC has a different kind of cab.
After getting off the MMC, I went back home on a Original E200, which was IB 81
