So if Stagecoach North East get a good New Order in for next year 2015/2016, more than likely it will be 100% DDA compliant.
As regards the Double Deckers, probably some midlife E400s, possibly from Manchester or Younger ALX 400 Trident Cast Offs from elsewhere.
I don't think there has been a Green Bus Funding Round for 2014/2015 as that could an opportunity to order more GAS Buses for the North East.
That's a added bonus that they're getting WIFI.
I do hope the green bus fund happens for 2014/2015... good opportunity to get more gas buses for Sunderland because they want to make Sunderland 100%
This is a good idea because then the Envrio's can help get rid of more of the non DDA buses as there is 41 at Sunderland
