    Is this like a New Facelift of the Streetdeck Bodywork? the Rear End looks different from the Standard Streetdeck like a Hong Kong spec with the Cooling Units, lease they made the rear upperdeck window bigger, also sounds of the indicators are from Volvo lol!

      They’re Artificial Warning sounds, that are placed in the front of electric buses, to warn people of an incoming bus since those electric buses were too quiet, and it was only there due to a EU law in 2020

    I like the positive spin... "...and an extra display screen above means wheelchair users have easy access to on-board information" = Wrightbus couldn't fit the new style bigger iBus display on the stair bulkhead, so had to make do with an old style LED display there whilst bunging the new larger display above the windows.

      Its to let people know that a vehicle is approaching, all buses that are Electric have this noise, especially Electric cars.
      Edit: Its a legal requirement for Electric vehicles to still have a noise so thats what they have in all of them or else accidents will happen.

      It’s an artificial sound played through speakers at the front of the bus. It’s to let people who have difficulty seeing know that the bus is coming. Instead of using the horn.

      All electric buses in London are now equipped with an artificial noise that alerts people who have difficulty seeing. It’s the same noise used on all EVs. Some hybrid buses also got the noise because they were quiet.
