Hi everyone, welcome to the bus I've been working on for the last while.
It is the Dennis Trident Plaxton President, we plan doing as many engine and gearbox combos as possible, but what will come is based on what we have available to us.

Let's talk about the generic variants, which are the versions coming first:

The release order (all of which are generic op-neutral variants):
Release 1 - 10.5m Single Door Regional, Gasket/Bonded.
Release 2 - 10.5m Dual Door/London editions, Gasket/Bonded.
Release 3 - 9.9m Single Door Regional, Gasket/Bonded.
Release 4 - 9.9m Dual Door/London editions, Gasket/Bonded.
Release 5 - 10.5m Low Height, Gasket/Bonded
Release 6+ - Anything operator specific. You'll be updated when this happens.

Seats?
Generic variants will contain the following as setvars:
Lazzerini Practico 2845
Scanflex
Fainsa Cosmic
Rowan Telmac Telford 20.

Linea seats will be available in a seperate, semi op-specific First Variant.

Destination Boards?
Generic variants will contain the following as setvars:
LEDs
Flipdots
Rollblinds

London variants will be equipped with traditional TfL spec blinds. Dual door variants will be equipped with the generic options stated above.

Ticket machines?
Generic variants will contain the following as setvars:
Wayfarer TGX150 (With thanks to Sambob_12 scripts)
Ticketer (Courtesy of V3D and Sambob_12)
VIX TP5700 (Modelled)

We plan delving further into the scripts of these to try and bring them close to/on par with DLC standard.

Full Specifications for any future variants will be communicated as they're conceived

What will the templates be like?
They will be baked, easy templates like that on most modern UK buses. Templates will be available in .pdn and .psd formats. You will need to save these as .dds files, for which a tutorial will be provided.
The final version will come with a repainter's manual to help you get the best out of repainting the bus. You won't be able to acquire an early version of the template.

Release Date/Beta?:
IDK/No

Will this be finished?
I have every intention to finish it, but it's going to take time

The screenshots below are very old, and are nowhere near the standard the model is currently. Look at your own risk :P:

Well, I think it's time for THE BIG UPDATE!

So what is the big update?
The big update was formed by the fact I hadn't been able to post any updates in quite some time, so I decided to wait until the time was right to release the huge update.

If you are part of the Plaxton Network Discord server, you might've seen a few screenshots of the outside but this isn't the main focal point of this update.

What's New?

As can be seen here, there are stuff like new (and better) Tree Deflectors and Rivets along the side of the bus (both thanks to Rhys). There are also modified window surrounds, badges, textured LED Marker lights, so on.

The other main focal point of this update is the finished interior. I will show you some comparison photos between the pre-rebuild model and the rebuilt model.

There will be a drivers blind on the new model too - don't worry. And there's a nice new dash thanks to V3D for letting me bodge his :joy:
Hope you enjoy those - the next stop is a fully textured bus :)

@Lukeyboi how's the bus coming along mate? Just to be clear I'm not rushing you, as we understanding it requires time and dedication. This is just me simply asking if the project is still on :) great work so far!
