I think priority for Stagecoach would be replace older vehicles in the fleet across the country as their are a lot of ALX300/400's, Optare Solo's and Dennis Dart SLF 2's which were new in 2004 or older which are still in active service, making them 15 years old, the MAN E200's are only 10/11 years old.

Not ruling out the North East getting any new buses as I do think services such as the 1/10/11/38/100/E1/E2/E6/X24/X34/X47/X82/X87 & X88 would benefit from new buses, but that would be a massive investment which I don't think Stagecoach would go for unless they were looking to improve growth on those services.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
