I'd say for the 27, GNE could get away with anything in terms of reliability. With the exception of a bit of Gateshead, it's relatively flat and doesn't exceed 40. I'd say that if GNE were going to buy a Versa for another route, then I'd say that the Optare Integral with either the Merc or Cummins engine would be likely.
The Streetdeck isn't being offered with a Volvo engine, only the OM934 Mercedes engine. The only Volvo option from Wrightbus is the Gemini 3-bodied Volvo B5 chassis either in diesel or Hybrid format.
