Seems like it would be a fairly expensive thing to do.One of the main reasons for Wrightbus' financial difficulties may relate to the cancelled First Group order.
I think they got the Streetdeck spot on for the most part, but the Streetlite could definitely have been better.
Then again, there are over 1600 Streetlites registered and over 600 Streetdecks, so they're certainly selling and I'd imagine they would have made most of the development cost back by now.
I wonder if Mike Ashley will step in and buy them. He's like me on a late night AliExpress spree at the minute!
At £250k per bus, Wrights currently have 60 buses parked up in a field which are now "pre-owned" as dealer stock. £15m worth of assets awaiting sale!
Rotala have picked up a couple...
