It came from a Deptford driver and it was being shared with members of the public - so take it with a pinch of salt if you wish.
Apparently an order for new vehicles has been messed up.
Volvo engines have been added to the buses in the factory, rather than the ones that had been requested.
So, the vehicles have gone back to the factory to have the correct ones fitted.
Whoever has said that would be talking bollocks for starters because a D5K or D8K engine isn't designed to be fitted to the Streetdeck / Streetlite integral chassis. If on the otherhand Wrightbus supplied Volvo Gemini 3s or Eclipse 3s to GNE (body and chassis) rather than a Streetlite or Streetdeck, then that rumour might be true but very unlikely!
