Does any one have a list of new buses due in this financial year?

Until it's announced by the company, no one with that information will give that info publicly. 9 Emeralds for Dundee and the Electric BYD's for Yardley Wood are due December/January. I thinks that's all is known so far.

55 x Streetdecks for Leeds
18 x Scania / ADL for Eastern Counties Excel X1 - I understand

What about the ADLs delivered to Glasgow?
And I thought there were some electric optares for York park and ride?

If they're already delivered to Glasgow, they not on order are they.

The above is only what I'm aware of that are still due, not exhaustive.

There are also 9 Yutong E10 Electric Single Deckers due for Leeds in May 2020.

Sorry, my apologies. Didn't notice it was in the First thread.
