Stagecoach announces 2011-12 order

[Jack]

Stagecoach is buying or leasing 587 vehicles for 2011-12.
ADL, Scania, Plaxton and Volvo will supply 255 double-deckers, 74 single-deckers, 166 midibuses, 28 coaches and 64 hybrids.
Notable are the first 50 Scania-based Enviro300s. There are also 91 Scania-based Enviro400s in the order. Operations in Newcastle and Sheffield are to receive 26 and 21 Enviro400H hybrids each.
More than 160 buses - 125 Enviro400s and 39 Enviro200s - are to be leased for the recently reacquired London operation.
All the new vehicles are expected to be in service by April 2012.

Taken from Route One live news. Interesting to note the Enviro300 on a Scania chassis combination in this order.

That's a strange combination, I never knew it existed.

Looks like its a nice earner for Brian with a full house from ADL.

Indeed the E300-bodied Scanias are a new venture for Stagecoach. They are really going to town with Scania chassis now. Indeed, for operations outside London there are more Scania double-deckers than Enviro 400 integrals included in this order, even allowing for Hybrid examples.
