Although they'd be replacing dual-door Volvo B10BLEs, I'd imagine they would want to convert them to single-door configuration so as to avoid customer confusion (which would be quite costly) and to get more seats in. New in 2003, they'd probably have around three years left, and I can't see Go North East spending the money on them..?
May be wrong, but I think it would be cheaper to modify the Volvo B10BLEs to make them DDA-compliant!
