I'm no expert, but I think they tend to be longer, limited stop routes with oppurtunity to get a fair turn of speed - which Scanias perform better at. ADLs are for more "workhorse" routes, trundling up and down congested routes with single-figure average speeds. This is why Hyde Road quickly lost 15444-55 to Northampton back in 2009 ish - and off-peak running times have deteriorated further since then.

I had indeed noticed that, with 1 or 2 exceptions such as Devon, Stagecoach tend to use pure Enviro400s on urban routes and Scania-Enviro400s on interurban routes.

Scania don't get a look in because of their refusal to fit electric cooling fans to their engines; Stagecoach have taken the decision that it's not worth the extra expense and hassle of having an external contractor do it, and dropped Scania.

Look out for Volvo starting to appear over the next few years again - they seem very keen to win back Stagecoach's business...


The Optare portion of this years order is very small - just 6 units for Norfolk Green, and even then that's only because of the slimline requirement. It's very telling that Stagecoach are prepared to put more money into a mostly unproven vehicle combo - the Mercedes Sprinters - than with one of their long-time suppliers (Optare).

Do you by any chance know which routes will be upgraded to Gold spec?

No idea on specific order breakdown I'm afraid - just headline numbers.

Credit to Kuyoyo post above these are apparently what Chester and Birkenhead's Enviro200 order be....

26050 to 26062 - E200MMC's for P&R in Chester
37440 to 37444 - E200MMC's for Birkenhead (Aparently for 41/42)


RE: Stagecoach 2016/17 orders - Wright Eclipse - 26/04/2016 21:02

Could the ones for aldershot be GOLD standard to upgrade 1 to double decker operation?

I'm assuming 54334 - 54441 is a typo, should it be 54334 - 54341? I can't see them having over a hundred coaches!!!!

lol it must be, never noticed it

Thank you for your detailed and informed list Kuyoyo.

I understand that the 13 Enviro 200-MMCs for Bromley are for London routes 146 & 336 in August, but will be small single-door buses around 8.9 metres in length.
