Is it me or....

Is it me or does some of Stagecoach's fleet seem alittle out dated. I say this as there are 04 plates and 06 plates with out fold out ramps. I thought they were standard after 2000 or have a I missed something major?

Answers on a post card lol

I know it's not Midlands but I rode step-entrance Volvo Olympian R250 NBV on route 78 (Keswick - Seatoller & back) yesterday in place of an open-top Dennis Trident

Also the last Stagecoach North West B10M R918 XVM was on the 554 in place of a Trident today (Sat 1st)

I'm not complaining though obviously! Great to see these hanging on in service still

In the Midlands fleet, all buses newer than X reg are DDA compliant.

Are you sure it wasn't one of the V-MVX which were refurbished to match the 54 plate ones at Nuneaton as they entered service there at the same time, but didn't have front ramps?

London buses never have front ramps as wheelchair access is via an electric ramp in the centre door

18189 is a 54 plate isn't it? and when I saw it last it had no front ramp or is it well hidden?
