I'm not so sure we would get them, to be honest. Don't think we've had the best of luck with the batch we got new, never mind second-hand examples which are older and would presumably require a bit of TLC.
Although they'd be replacing dual-door Volvo B10BLEs, I'd imagine they would want to convert them to single-door configuration so as to avoid customer confusion (which would be quite costly) and to get more seats in. New in 2003, they'd probably have around three years left, and I can't see Go North East spending the money on them..?
May be wrong, but I think it would be cheaper to modify the Volvo B10BLEs to make them DDA-compliant!
