This doesn't seem to fit quite with the above, 59 integral Enviro 400 MMCs I can confirm are not in this list. Not sure about the Gilmoss and Manchester ones, they may add up if you include those? The Volvo B5TL open toppers do fit, there seems to be one Scania missing however? Pretty sure 4 of the 11.8m Enviro 200 MMCs are missing, and there seems to be 11 extra 10.8m variants! Not going to bother checking the rest of the list, but this seems to be the bulk of the order. This is assuming I now how to count, so there may be some form of human error. |

The Preston Scanias are for the X2. |

Not sure if Stagecoach will increase the frequency on this route but I would hope they do. Go-Ahead and Stagecoach seem to be in bus wars in lots of areas: Newcastle, Oxford and now Swindon! Stagecoach are indeed increasing the 55, as they are hell bent on creating an unnecessary bus war, and it wouldn't have necessarily been against Go Ahead. They registered the new service 3 on the day Thamesdown was acquired, so they had that ready to go up against whoever bought the company. As for other areas, competition isn't that intensive between Stagecoach and Go Ahead - in Oxford there is the Quality Bus Partnership, meaning timetables are co-ordinated and tickets are valid on either operator. And in Newcastle, the impression I get is that co-existence is peaceful. |

There's pretty much no direct competition between Arriva, Go North East and Stagecoach in much of the city. There are small pockets in the likes of Byker and Walkergate but other than that, nothing. There's a bit more competition in South Shields and Sunderland, but it's still minimal. |

In Oxford you have the 7/500 which both were changed/created to go Oxford - Oxford Parkway - Woodstock which is it. Looking back to Newcastle, I guess it is pretty peaceful. I was thinking of the X24 which only really rivals the metro! |

I would hope the new MMCs are on the 55, if the rumours are right Thamesdown are getting single-decker MMCs for the R1. |

I believe Nuneaton are expecting 25 "longer" Enviro200's, so this could fit 26178-21202. This came from a Nuneaton driver to a friend of mine who lives there. |

I've just noticed on the "UK buses/Stagecoach page that Guildord are expecting Enviro200's 36491-36499. |
