(29 Nov 2020, 11:50 am)NewcastleOne Unlikely they only sold 2 (301/302). I believe that these were built to a different standard or were dealer stock hence why they got rid even thought they look to have a similar interior. There was a fleet replacement plan to renew every 5 years the whole fleet and were keeping older deckers to get every bit usage and value out of them. However covid has most likely changed only renewal plans.

401/402 were sold to Warrington's Own Buses presumably as they were no longer required in the fleet, interior spec was the same as the rest of that batch when delivered (specs on orders since have been altered slightly since this batch was delivered).
