As just fourteen vehicles are now outstanding for the 2014/15 financial year, it makes sense to move on to the 2015/16 financial year order predictions...
Paired with DDA regulations coming into affect for single deckers from 1 January 2016 and likewise double deckers from 1 January 2017, final decisions for the Quality Contracts Scheme are just around the corner, so it's bound to be an interesting year on the order front.
I'm sure we'll hear all about how great it would be if the Volvo B9TLs were replaced on the X1, so fire away...

(22 May 2015, 11:50 am)cbma06 could go on X21 or 1, does the X30/X31/X70/X71 warrants double deckers?

(22 May 2015, 1:47 pm)cbma06 I thought the Omnidekkas will be replacing the last lot of Volvo Olympians and some of the Dennis Tridents.
(22 May 2015, 1:51 pm)Davie Yes they are, but usually when I have seen services X30/X31/X70/X71 a Lolyne, Olypians, president or Omnicity has been allocated

(22 May 2015, 2:24 pm)cbma06 yea, theres been a lot of dolly mixtures on those services, hope that when the omnidekkas get on, then their be a proper allocation on those services. still remember getting on those express link and superliners days gone past for the X30 and 770.

(22 May 2015, 7:47 pm)Robert I can't see them buying Streetlites for every single decker order for years. I know they like to keep it standard but they may not be the best buy for the routes.
