Just what someone said on Facebook, obviously it was lies as it was unreported prior to that and there is no way and order of new buses would be received in under 2 Months, The order would of have to of been made in January for the Delivery Date of September to be even possible. I said before January 2014 for 309/310 if what I was told is indeed true which I suspect it is.
As for the M1, I'm not even going to say whether they New/2nd Hand, as I have zero idea, This rumour seems to be going back and fourth constantly at the minute. And I certainly haven't heard/read anything confirmed yet as to whether they are new or not. I hope they are new as the M1 is one of my local routes and I use it Daily. To be fair though there isn't anything wrong with the Scanias on there currently.
