By the time all of the current Stagecoach order for single decks are delivered (Early months of 2016) not only will all of the non-DDA single decks have been replaced (Dec 2015) But allowing for the replacement of the last few Excels & the odd non std Daf & maybe, (fingers crossed in hope) the MAN 14.220s with East Lancs & MCV bodies, there are far more S/D vehicles on order than needed to just replace pre 2001 non DDA stock, some of the early std Dart SLFs (53 reg) will presumably be surplus (Reserve fleet?)
If memory serves, it was once stated that Stagecoach looked for a life of 16 years for Double-Decks, 14 for full size Single Decks & 12 for Midi/Minibuses, does anyone know if that still stands?
