(06 Feb 2019, 11:31 am)RBZ 5459 wrote The Department for Transport's ultra-low emission bus scheme successful bidders have been announced this morning, Stagecoach Manchester and Stagecoach Wales coming out with their accepted bids. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/sy...sv/preview

I note Stagecoach's successful bid is 32 buses. Last August they submitted a bid for 105 (2019/20). Does this mean 73 have been rejected or was that a seperate bid?

Note: First Manchester have also secured 12 e-buses. Despite recurring rumours that First want to sell all Greater Manchester ops - and quickly - they have publicly stated these buses will run on service 582 (Bolton-Leigh). Yet, Stagecoach won't (yet) say where theirs will go.
