I think the second batch either had opening windows or better AC. Some of them are pretty warm though.
I quite like the look of them and some of the bad publicity was down to some fairly dubious agenda-driven journalism (allocating all of the R&D costs to the first batch of busses to hugely inflate the cost and then not reflecting that when reporting on the prices of subsequent orders was a favourite trick). A shame the platform at the back has gone though, being able to hop on and off again was great.
Did the design ever get licensed out anywhere? I know that was the plan but nothing seems to have been mentioned so I assume not.
