Stagecoach Order 2013-14
RE: Stagecoach Order 2013-14
Only 78 vehicles will be on Scania chassis, there is no information of what it comprises between decker and saloon i've got that information from the Scottish Courier newspaper article which says 106 vehicles to be bodied by ADL Group subsiduaries but on Scania or Volvo chassis, so if you take away the Volvo coaches thats what your left with the remaining vehicles will be on ADL chassis appart from the Optares and the Van Hools.

The solitary Versa is probably for a specific contract where a standard Stagecoach ADL isn't suitable for what ever reason or to add to an existing depot of Versa's an extra unit rather than add in an oditity of a different make for an insignificant number.

I must comment seperately to this to say that I find that the order based on previous years is actually quite low, is there a reason for this when DDA Compliancy must be at the top of the operators priorities especially where step endrance buses exist or early Dart SLF's?

Given also the fact that potential other FirstGroup depots could be purchased that would then spread the order even greater, as each operation so far taken over has taken round 20-30 new buses up based on the fact that the depots First are selling haven't had much investment in stock for a considerable number of years. That therefore gives Stgaecoach another headache esapecially if the significant sized operation that First is rumoured to be disposing of in the South West was bought.
