Could also be to do with the mechanical side of them too, Most notably is that the 53 Reg batch have a different Gearbox to the 54s. Doubt it is though.
Should improve the quality of the service there operating too, The Prince Bishops had branded vehicles all the way from 2001 to Late 2004 on it, Similar to the Fast Cats which had Scania's from 2002 to 2004 on it.
Sorry if I don't make sense, I didn't know how to explain it.
Hopefully with the Scania's starting to become oldish, hopefully the ones which go "Go North East" aren't put on demanding routes.
Least they should be replacing the Cadets and Duel Door B10's in the fleet.
