And there was several unregistered B9TLs in there. Also these aren't the last one built. The last Volvo B9TL / Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 built was for Delaine Buses and entered service on the 1st March. The ones built beforehand (including the GNE ones) were all built as a stock batch and put into storage. This is a regular occurance with bus builders particularly Scania who had about 30 N113DRBs made with ELC Cityzen bodies for sale as Stock vehicles.
There was a coach dealer (in Yorkshire or Lancashire?) who had several unused and unregistered coaches in stock when he died - which were between ten and twelve years old!
