The scania omnideckers are 03 reg so ain't new.
How many streetlights are there altogether... plus 4 B9s.
29x Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid and 4x Volvo B9TL vehicles - a total of 33 confirmed new vehicles. A further 14 vehicles, bringing us to the 47 new vehicles quoted in the article, have also been ordered as part of the company's 2014/15 financial year, although neither the vehicle type nor the service(s) being upgraded have been confirmed on the public domain.
The second-hand Scania Omnidekka vehicles are not included in this statement regarding investment into new buses for obvious reasons - as you say, they're not new. These are extra vehicles which have been purchased, enabling the fleet age to be reduced even further, with older vehicles being withdrawn as a consequence.
