Coaching/National Express - omnicity4659 - 31 Dec 2024

According to the internal newsletter, GNE have 16 "new" coaches arriving for National Express between January and April, with the first six arriving in the next couple of months.

Are these Levante 3As or secondhand from other operators?

New Levante 3A - they have been on order for a year or so. 

Will they be Volvo or Scania?

I'd say Scania as all recent Levante 3 deliveries to National Express have been Scania K410's.

Saw a new GNE Levante in service heading south on A19 this morning. Fleet no. 7164, reg BV74 LNW.

According to BusTimes, 7163 is now in service as well.
