Not much comfort for Optare in these orders, maybe the Solo is just too well built and doesn't wear out!
Had a peek at the Mercedes web site, the sprinter minibuses (They do have a mid-section low floor) seem to be the sort of vehicles used at Airports for Hotel/Car park/Crew shuttles rather than Stage carriage work, they can be equipped with a wheelchair lift, I wonder if they are for a special contract somewhere?
My quick 'bag of a fag packet' calculation is that there are more than enough E400MMC to replace all Olympians and Tridents up to X reg, thereby replacing all pre 2001(non DDA) 'Decker stock, although some could survive on 'closed contracts'.
