Is there a list of the buses that will come with a regional version or is it just all of the except the nbfl?

I think NRM's will spend all their lives in London, if a handful leave I doubt they'll be converted to single door given the costs involved (not to mention the twin staircases). Much depends on whether their batteries get replaced when they're worn out, if not they will probably go for scrap as I doubt it would be easy to fit a larger engine as has been done with some older E40Hs (effectively dehybridised).

I imagine the SRM body could be fitted on the B5TL, but not sure anyone would go for it given Wright have only sold about 5 on the B5LH chassis to London.

Yeah that is true, who knows, maybe one day, but it is very unlikely, I don't think that the SRM and NRM would fit places like Kent well though , at least not where I live due to the amount of hills and tight narrow roads there are, they are not powerful enough compared to the B7TL's and E400's :D

The NRM is actually rather decent on hills. They're just rather slow if they don't get much of a running start. Likewise with a B5LH. They can be pretty powerful, but at the same time, the i-Shift gearbox can be a massive hinderance on steep hills.
 
yeah , I have noticed that a lot, The B5LH's which Arriva Kent and surrey in Maidstone, when they are running on the 3 from Maidstone Town centre to Maidstone hospital , this is a very hilly route and when the bus gets a run up they are usually fine , or act like any normal bus would, but when they have to stop on the hill at one of the bus stops they struggle a great deal , I still think though that the E400 ETC handle a lot better , but who knows, I don't travel on the NRM and SRM's that much because I don't go to London all the time :D but yeah , the buses still look really nice though :D

So basically, you need a bit of straight road before the hill starts. iShift is useless anywhere other than big cities, hence why they are made for London :P

Not really, the I-Shift gearbox is actually very clever. From my daily experiences on them for the past two years on B5LH chassis, they're very vigilant about which gear to go in, for example when on the flat it'll set off in sixth gear (in reality), but when on a steep hill it'll start off in third or four, thus providing extra power. It'll also go through more gears (ie from 4-5-6-7... vice 6-8-10) when climbing a hill, and it'll go through fewer gears (ie from 6-9-11) when going down hill.
The battery also won't kick in if the bus stops on a steep gradient.

Ah, makes sense now :)

And there's another thing about this forum. NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Ok, you clearly have no understanding of what "Freedom of Speech" means...

Are we a democratic government? No, we're a generally benevolent dictatorship that governs an internet site.
