Merge proposal

Following on from this previous discussion, I believe that the same product sold under different brands can be satisfactorily covered by one article. I will merge in a few days' time unless anyone has a good reason not to. Quackdave (talk) 16:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now done. As with the Olympus, there were some conflicts between the two sets of dimensions. Optare's website confirms the maximum seating capacity of 43, but the 34 clearly isn't correct as some examples have 25 seats or even fewer. Therefore I've used the range 33-60 passengers from the EL article (which presumably includes standees) but have also mentioned the 43 seated maximum. I've retained the existing length range from the Optare article infobox, as clearly many are shorter than the 12800mm given on the old EL article. 79.76.134.134 (talk) 20:41, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, thanks for that. I may soon get round to checking the links and avoiding some of the redirects. Arriva436^talk 20:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A note that the ones run by Epsom Coaches / Quality Line are full Esteems with the new style sides and rear, they are simply fitted with gasket glazing which makes them more similar to the old Spryte / Millenium buses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.104.103.211 (talk) 12:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
