True, but it does mention the areas of services which will be affected...

Indeed and other areas which will benefit from refurbished vehicles.

Thankfully there’s no Streetlites in this order.

That's good, hopefully ADL on order.

Is teasing those of us without access to the company's briefing information permitted under Forum rules??!! Wink

Think all the citaros have been refurbed, with the exception of the ex Bluestar examples i stand to be corrected. No streetair ordered.

Any StreetDecks or MetroDeckers in the order?

It would simply stop the conversation if we simply said "this years orders are 100 buses which are 50 Mercedes Citaro euro 6, 25 ADL400s and 25 Volvo B8s", which of course there's not 100 buses on order.

Have we got a date for when the new buses will start to arrive?

Wonder if they'll be done after the B9's?, although, they seem to of stopped refurbishing them atm.

If there's no streetlites, i'm gonna guess they'll have no streetdecks on order... i could be wrong, can't see them ordering Metrodeckers either.

Have a feeling, we will see an influx of ADL buses...

August or September

No Metrodeckers.

I'm just trying to spark debate! It was true with Martijn Gilbert saying there was 33 double deckers and 11 single decks though!

Not sure if this is simply a thowaway line, or deliberate misinformation designed to confuse .....

Post 155 is pretty much spot on. Only they’ve added 1 more double decker to the order, 11 singles and 34 doubles from 2 suppliers

I think the 11 single decks will be Optare Versa XFE's then the deckers will be ADL E400MMC's.

Could the extra decker be for the Castles Express PVR increase?

Still think they will go for streetdecks but go for E200 for singles
