They do an upgrade currently, expanding the spandau default map, and a new bus: don'tT know how they are called in English, it is a long bus with a flexible knuckle in the middle (=Gelenkbus).

Several nice mod maps are already available, too. Some of them are as good as the default one.
Bendi-bus we call them over here, they fell out of fashion in London after some incidents with cyclists, and then the current Mayor used his political campaign to replace them with a new double-decker 'Routemaster II'.

I know what you mean with the sounds although I do not think I've travelled on that particular type of bus, however it sounds incredibly familiar, the whine of the gearbox on acceleration and when the foot is off the pedal. Makes me feel travel sick just thinking of it! Lots and lots and lots of memories though, fond ones.
