Then the order for the DAF220 and B10BLE made by Arriva?

Please don't call this info accurate as its based on what I've learnt in five years or so.

The Volvo B6BLEs and Volvo B10BLEs were ordered by MTL however the order was honoured by Arriva

The Dart SLFs, DAF SB120s and DAF SB220s were all ordered by Arriva. Just to correct you however there were 59 Darts and not 72 - some registration combinations were not issued so obviously the fleet numbers which would have matched those weren't issued either. That also applied to the Cadets
