CMNL / NMCL UKBUS 8000 & MBC 8500 Series
Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Dart Single Deck Bus

The Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Dart replaced the popular Plaxton Pointer and like it's earlier cousin has been produced in a varied range of different lengths. CMNL added their model version to the range in late 2007, they have so far produced two body lengths a short 9.8 metre and a long 10.7 metre, to date all but three of the releases have been single door models.

The Enviro200 can be fitted with either gasket or bonded glazing, however only two models UKBUS8002 & 8014 have been issued with the later glazing style.

Further models were announced in 2012 before the demise of Creative Master, only two of these were subquetily released by the reformed Northord Model Company in 2013 and this pair (UKBUS8020/1) both feature revised front corner skirt panels. They would eventually prove to be the last versions of model issued by Northcord.

In March 2024 Northcord Models announced that the Enviro200 castings were being fine-tuned in the factory. Some modifications were applied due to the long silence on the toolings’ use. In December 2024 Model Buses Creations announced that they had acquired all the Enviro200 tooling from Northcord & going into 2025 would start producing new issues of the model, these will be available direct from MBC & few other select model retailers.
It hasn't been confirmed whether MBC will use Northcord's proposed UKBUS85xx series peoduct codes for the updated versions of the Enviro200 models.
