8x new wright streetlites for the 57 (5500-07) and 1 spare (5508) these will feature the latest and cleanest euro 6 engines aswell as stop start technology and internally include all the current internal spec of the 57

What are your thoughts
I would like to see the Volvo 7900 and the Volvo B8RLE in the Go North East fleet in the future.
I think the Q1/Q2 and Q3 would get the same kind of buses.
