There are definitely some '02'/'52' Volvo/Geminis on the way from London - they are currently being refurbished. A bid has been lodged with the powers that be at Head Office for nine new deckers (VDL/Wright) for the 375/385 route which, if successful, will arrive late next year.

For such new buses to be due late next year represents a delay from the previous intention of new buses around April.

It is a pity when vehicles like ex-London VLWs (and DLPs at Wythenshawe) are only for school journeys and not mainstream service.
