Quote from: winston on November 09, 2024, 11:47:09 AMI have seen at least one Boa Vista listed for sale with Bus & Coach, Oxford (never made a note of which one) - It may have been on FB or it has already been sold & weblink removed.
Bus and Coach have them advertised now. Along with a good number of single deck Levante's.

Quite a few 19 plate Levante 3s for sale, while there are 2s. As old as 65 plate still in us with NX and contractors, sure there's probably a good reason why

Most 65 plates are with Go-Ahead companies as they always wanted Volvos and have been holding on as long as possible in the hope Caetano would be able to put the Mark3a body on the latest Volvo chassis, but that hasn't happened so they are finally taking a batch of Scanias to replace the 65 plates. Oxford, East Yorkshire and Go North East have all taken delivery of new vehicles this month.

Volvo have completely redesigned their coach chassis which requires a new design of body from any manufacturer. This was given to me as the reason Plaxtons aren't building any coaches this year as well

One would assume Volvo would have pre warned the body builders but it sounds like they haven't

Is the 2019 on 19 and 69 number plate models Caetano Levante 3 Volvo coaches also going on sale?

Most of them would have originally been on 5-year Operating Leases.

This company is all about greed. If you want to buy a coachcard you now have to pay a rip off booking fee, online & in person. Greedy parasites

Do Flixbus do any thing similar

Flixbus don't do a coach card to offer fare reductions, but they do charge a booking fee on tickets as do Megabus

So you're complaining about the price of a discount the competition don't do?

I'm complaining about NE being greedy parasites. They didn't use to charge a rip off booking fee for buying a coachcard. I said it earlier & now I'll say it again. NE only care about one thing. That thing is money
