The Stagecoach Bus Handbook 2014 is due for publication at the end of the month, so that may shed some light.
One of the big downsides of the Manufacturers now registering New vehicles is that, they don't tend to get registration marks allocated to them, until they are about to leave the factory. Whereas in the past
Operators could reserve a block of registration numbers well in advance of delivery. The delivery of the next 23 GAS buses to Sunderland is probably just five or six weeks away & yet Registration numbers have still not been allocated.
I'm sure they will still get 28018-28040 due to the rest of them being that and since it's the first Gas ones in the stagecoach fleet.
5 or 6 weeks isnt that long away at all, they should enter service soon after they arrive, sure the drivers dont need training on them
