They've taken a lot of relatively new Volvo B9TLs and many Citaros and Scanias of age have been replaced by B7RLEs. I doubt Bury will get any Enviros before the next few years if ever. The non low floor deckers have this year before they will have to leave so I wouldn't see much more of those after this September. The Solar Fusion is an excellent vehicle and surpasses the performance of the OmniCitys in my opinion, which I am lead to believe are staying on the 135 or maybe straying onto the 471s.

What is it that you are losing your patience over? You have a fairly decent fleet with a fair age profile. Those B9TLs are in excellent condition to be honest, and the B7RLEs are more than capable. The Scanias could do with a bit of TLC but they're still alright.
