It seems sensible that a lease agreement on a Sprinter (or similar) would be much more affordable than what would have been in place in Spirit's E200.
Spirit ran the services commercially whereas now PCL are running it under the tendered contract so maybe there are specific demands from NCC as to what vehicles should operate.
