context_page_description: The Scania OmniLink is a series of integrally constructed rear longitudinal-engined low-entry city buses available on the European market. It is a complete product built by Scania of Sweden.
  The OmniLink was launched in 1998 with an inclined engine and was designated CL94UB, and an articulated version was designated CL94UA. But when the Euro IV version was introduced in 2006, the engine was no longer tilted and the designation changed to CK230UB/CK270UB/CK310UB for the rigid version.
  Initially the bus had only been produced in left-hand drive configurations, however since 2006 right-hand drive versions had been produced and the first ones had been delivered to Nottingham City Transport in 2007. Nottingham City Transport also trialed 3 ethanol-fuelled OmniLinks, which were used on EcoLink 30, from Nottingham to Wollaton; the trial was not a success, and the buses were later converted back to diesel.
  The OmniLink's floor raises at the rear section, more like other UK buses, when compared to the flat floored OmniCity.

  Initially the bus had only been produced in left-hand drive configurations, however since 2006 right-hand drive versions had been produced and the first ones had been delivered to Nottingham City Transport (who were also first to order right-hand drive Scania OmniCitys) in 2007. Nottingham City Transport also trialed 3 ethanol-fuelled OmniLinks, which were used on EcoLink 30, from Nottingham to Wollaton; the trial was not a success, and the buses were later converted back to diesel. 
  The OmniLink's floor raises at the rear section, more like other UK buses, when compared to the flat floored OmniCity. Notable UK operators of the OmniLinks are National Express West Midlands, who purchased 165  used on services throughout Birmingham and The Black Country along with Arriva Midlands where they were used to upgrade fleets in Tamworth and Derby.
  Production of the OmniLink ceased in 2013. It was superseded by the Scania Citywide LE for left-hand drive markets and Irizar i3-bodied Scania K UBs for right-hand drive markets.
