Bit disappointed about TFL getting 94 buses out of it, considering it's so heavily subsidised already. I always think that London will always have an advantage in such bids, due to the GLA/Major's commitment towards a Low Emission zone within the M25 circle.

One thing I've noticed that is quite interesting, is that the Nottingham City Council bid is £1,517,256 for 15 units. So just over £100,000 each. Compared to that of Stagecoach North East, which was £305,601 for 17 units (just under £18,000 each). Makes me wonder what they're getting for that sort of money, baring in mind the restrictions stated in para 1.5 of the bidding guidance.
