(17 Jun 2014, 8:01 am)Scott Just a little to add...
Stagecoach have always bought Alexander buses pretty much from day 1. Sir Brian Souter the founder and chairman of Stagecoach actually owns part of Alexander Dennis (about 40% as far as I know).
Yes, we've discussed that before somewhere on the forum and the massive 'discounts' that Stagecoach get on ADL products as a result (although I think the use of the word 'discounts' was disputed).

With ADL building the MMC, I'm actually quite confident that with the amount of thought that they've put into it, that the 6.7 Cummins unit will cope with anything upto mid range interurban work (TEN, Red Arrows, Blyth and
Ashington express buses) as long as it's well looked after. But, for the endurance market, it would be nice for ADL to offer a Volvo chassis with the D8K engine. It would certainly boost the popularity even more.
