Dan seems to like his Ex Stagecoach Scotland Buses and obviously has a good relationship with whoever he purchases them from so would no surprise if we see more incoming from that direction.
I think there is more chance of GNE's Ex GAL vehicles going for scrap.
I was on newest acquisition, 302 the other day from Pallion and people were very confused and thought they had got on the 11 by mistake due to it basically being exactly like every non electric stagecoach bus in the north east yet just painted 2 shades of blue. I have heard the same on the X22 from Chester-Le-St people were confused if Stagecoach had now got routes in their area...
Tbf a simple retrim of the seats would solve that instantly. Although good luck trying to get a decent moquette that matches red/orange is Stagecoach internal designs
