 of hand me downs back in the 80-90's

What about the new Mercedes 0405N's that were new for the 74 ?
What about the Volvo B6's that were new for the 401/402, 644 ?
What about the Volvo Gemini's (4700-4717) that were new for the 82/87 ?
What about the Platinums that were new for the 82/87 ?

Short answer, yes. All garages will receive new buses within the next few years.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath
