The difference is that Stagecoach buy buses in their hundreds. Go North East have only bought seven units, as new buses aren't procured by the group at the same time.
I think that's a good idea, imagine if Go-Ahead allowed GNE to buy about 100 buses again, just over a quarter? of the older fleet could be gone in a year.
