Go North East said in their QCS response that they intended to purchase 80 vehicles this and next year; however, plans can change... As I said yesterday, none of our GNE insiders have actually suggested 80 vehicles will be ordered this year - they've suggested a few brand names, but none of the brand names have ever amassed to 80 vehicles in total.
Let's not forget they ordered more vehicles last year than they expected (owing to the downfall of Yourbus with GNE taking on a lot of the work)... Second hand coaches are fairly pricey - brand new coaches are even more expensive.
