Sure the last BIG investment was the E200/400MMC's/Streetdecks for the 97 and X-Lines.
Sad really, company is falling apart atm, needs investment soon, the buses which we're ordered in 2013? (B9's for the 56 etc, Citaro's for the 4 etc) are all now midlife and will need replacing soon, which was around 100 buses?
Edit: Hopefully some of them are replaced when the electrics arrive for the 21 and 58........ when ever they'll arrive............... wouldn't mind seeing the Streetdecks on the 56.
Yeah it was bar the two Yutong orders. There's been nothing at all otherwise.
I wouldn't say the B9's are midlife personally though. More nearing end of life, the Angel Streetdecks are more midlife really.
There's tonnes of buses nearing replacement though. Like these 'new' E400's are pretty much end of the life and they're no-where near the oldest buses in the fleet either. Singles are alright age wise generally but the Decker's are a mess and they're not on schools either.
It'll be interesting to see what GoAhead do tbh as the North East isn't the only place with aging deckers and the London displacements won't be around forever since the hybrids are useless.
