Asked Diamond Bus today if any Deckers where due at Atherton, They said its something they are looking into but nothing was set in Stone so its the case of watch the space over the next few months

Where have you got your information from as even Diamond themselves have said thats nothing decided

Terence I believe the story of deckers arriving at Atherton if and when it happens as I myself have been told many times of various drivers of theirs that deckers are on their way only for them not to arrive

Single deckers like a Streetlight or Enviro 300's? Or midibuses like Enviro 200's or a streetlight 8.8.
What's the midibus of choice these days? I never see any brand new solos just Enviro 200's.
