On top of these, the 5 new National Express coaches will have cost £1.45m and the 28 refurbished Citaro £500,000.

So don't be expecting many more new buses.......

When are the New Volvos expected to arrive for the X9 & X10?

I was wondering if the Angel is to get New buses in the near future, could they maybe get the Optare Metrodecker? Just a thought based on how long they had the Demo Metrodecker and also the fact that Chester le Street depot has a fleet of Optare Versa's, just thinking along the lines of depot standardisation perhaps.
