33101 is the only ALX200 to remain out on frontline allocation rather than to play a reserve role (as is the case with ALX200s 33484 and 33829), and these are all non-DDA compliant.

That was a mistype, as I did check the fleetcard and mentally took 45.
A correction was needed yes, but you did not need to repeat what I said but from a DDA view rather than non-DDA...
As I said with my main point, 35 non DDA's on main fleet.

They haven't bid for any yet new ones yet. The grants have been received, but probably is SC. SC then have to bid for the money to be used in such way. If not decided already who gets the money, bidding for the money would happen. But as the press says, all we know is the local authority area. Due to the current bus climate in the NE, answers on a postcard...!
