Arriva 2015 Order
Arriva 2015 Order
With thanks to the Arriva North West Facebook page, it has been confirmed that in addition to the 35 Alexander Dennis Enviro400s for Green Lane's 12/13 and 15 routes, Speke will be receiving 12 for the 75 service and Birkenhead 6 to replace older deckers on various routes. These buses are due towards the end of the summer I believe.
Bootle's other Enviro400s are registered as follows: SL15LME/LMF/LMJ/LMK/LML/LMM/LMN/LMO/LMU/LMV/LMY/LNA/LNC/LND/LNE.
Also, the Streetlite order for Birkenhead is untrue and can be removed from the list.

(07 Mar 2015, 1:47 pm)aureolin Ashington received 12x E400s and 3x Hybrid Streetlites last year though?
On top of that, another 7x E400s upgraded to MAX spec, and another 10x E400s upgraded to Sapphire spec.

(07 Mar 2015, 1:51 pm)Tommy_1581 Look at Blyth, quite a modern fleet. However in Ashington, we have quite an aged fleet. Mostly London cast offs replacing London cast offs.

Interestingly, the fleet ages of each depot are very similar. Discounting anything for disposal that is.
Ashington = 2008
Belmont = 2007
Blyth = 2008
Darlington = 2008
Jesmond = 2007
Redcar = 2008
Stockton = 2007
Whitby = 2009

I've updated the top post (eventually!) to reflect the current delivery status...
Note there has been a few additions to the "confirmed" order posted by Bus & Coach Weekly recently, especially the additional Solos for Hinckley

Just to clarify the Enviro400 situation, it seems the Arriva North West Facebook page were mistaken and actually referring to Streetlites not Enviro400s when confirming Birkenhead's order of six new buses. These are for the 487, a route which can't accommodate double deckers anyway. So, to confirm, it is 47 new Enviro400s for the North West which are starting delivery now, 35 for Green Lane (routes 12/13 and 15) and 12 for Speke (route 75). Birkenhead is thus due 6 of the 11.5 m Streetlites (route 487). Sorry for the earlier confusion over this - the Facebook post was really ambiguous.
The remaining Enviro400s are 6 to Sapphire spec for Southern Counties' Maidstone depot (route 101). This accounts for the full order of 165: 100 for the North West, 34 for Yorkshire, 9 for The Shires, 9 for Wales, 7 for the North East and as mentioned the 6 for Southern Counties.
