Updated list
(05 Mar 2014, 10:02 pm)Malarkey Well with 199 ADL Enviro 200 Dart 4 midibuses, you'd think Stockton would get some wouldn't you, I also think those Euro 6 E400's will end in either Stagecoach Gold Livery or a Special Variation Livery like the Hybrids/Gas Buses, Hopefully a few of them will end up at Walkergate/Slatyford, My guess would be for the 62/63, as have had 10000 on loan for god knows how long now.

Stockton already have 25 ADL Enviro 300s so Enviro 400s are needed for the school runs. I get on service 14 in Middlesbrough and they've just put duplicate journeys bound for Middlesbrough because its so busy between 0730 and 0815. We need some DDA compliant buses to replace the 53 non DDA compliant buses in the fleet. I agree that the 36 definitely needs E400s as it is always packed when it passes Macmillan Academy and continues up Stockton Road to Stockton High Street. Looking at the fleet lists I think that we may get some "57 reg" buses from Slaytford. But anything can happen; we struck lucky with 64 reg buses with wifi as well.
Hi All
Just to note Solo SR's 47931-3 are also allocated to Chichester, these form part of the batch working at Littlehampton and Bognar Regis "Stars" services.

Well, we're nearly there, what is likely to be the penultimate posting of the order list.
Well, what's left:
11 E200s (9 for Worthing and 2 for Arran)
And the 18 Volvo B5LH/Alexander Dennis Enviro400MMCs for Dundee
Anyway, here is the list (note against previous - 27206 has joined 27187/8 at Barnsley)

Not Stagecoach orders proper but will see replacement of older Stagecoach buses.
Isle of Arran contracts
SPT have awarded a package of local bus service contracts on the Isle of Arran to Stagecoach Western
SPT are to provide twelve new vehicles to be used on the contracts on a full
repairing lease basis to Stagecoach for the lifetime of the contract.
SPT have agreed to purchase eight 10.8m Wrightbus Streetlite
and four 7.9m Optare Solo.
Incidentally, the reason Arran are continuing to operate Mercedes 0709 buses after the 01/01/2015 DDA deadline is down to two routes being re-registered for use by school children only, i.e dedicated contracts not available to the general public.
Presumably the SPT supplied buses will see the replacement of the remaining Volvo B10M/Alexander PS and Mercedes 0709 on Arran.
(14 Feb 2015, 11:32 pm)idiot May seem a daft question but what's the silver handrail sort of thing on double deckers for?!The ones on the side of the front upstairs windows? Tree defenders (think that's the name), to reduce damage to the bus from trees hitting the front of it, it should prevent the smashing of windows.
