By my reckoning, Arriva have had the following delivered since September, on top of everything else delivered since the start of the year:

8x VDL DB300s (Wright Gemini 2) for London
Unknown number of Volvo B5LH (Wright Eclipse Gemini 2) for London
13x Volvo B7RLE (Wright Eclipse) for The Shires
12x VDL SB200 (Wright Pulsar 2) for Arriva North East
at least 1x VDL SB200 (Wright Pulsar 2) for the Midlands

Plus there's the rumoured 150 vehicle order for the North West (as mentioned in Route One Magazine) to be delivered over the course of the next 18 months, part of which will consist of the eight new double deckers for Southport and the six remaining Pulsars for Green Lane.

Does anyone know what else will be in the order for the North West, and what else is coming for the rest of the Arriva empire over the course of the year? I'm finding Arriva order announcements hard to find these days.

I wonder if anything will arrive before the end of the year, or will all of the new buses from now on arrive in the new year, therefore meeting Euro 6 standards?

Is Speke getting any new buses over the next 12 months?
