Rotala New Vehicle Order?

[EK40]

I have been told that rotala has (agreed to) acquire
a total of
60 MCV eVoRas
35 of which are 12.1m
25 are 10.8m
all e6 diesel B8RLEs
and two 10.8m streetlites both e6 diesels

seen this in multiple bus communities but havent found much on it so take this with a grain of salt, and no confirmation of where they may go either.

The eVoRas are all for Diamond North West (Eccles Depot) for the 7 Small Franchises won
by Rotala in TfGM Tranche 1. They will be joined by 8 x new Double Deckers - still to be ordered.

The 35 x 12.1m will be 37 seaters + 2 wheelchair spaces

The 25 x 10.8m will be 25 seaters + 2 wheelchair spaces

The extra 2 Streetlites will be for Tividale

Think you're right. Weren't they exported to New Zealand?

Yes as I recall @Simon's brother Scott bought them for his company "Telfords" although I don't think he owns the company now

No, Scott Dunn & Telford Tours are based in Australia, Rotala's MAN / MCV's were sold to Transit Group, New Zealand

Thanks for clarification @winston I obviously mistakenly thought that they had gone to his company
