It's not clear whether that's still on, or whether it's been axed under Rachel Reeves budget statement.
I'd assume that has gone through since Blyth has already spent the money doing the electric chargers and Stagecoach has already ordered the Yutongs. Mind it was awarded January 2023, it was the ZEBRA bid that was this year (58/X66 for GNE for reference). Just the NECA forgot to sign it off and rushed it through last minute.
