RE: Alexander Dennis
Here is another angle on that story

Quite a surprise really, wonder if that will effect Stagecoach's future orders which in the past have been largely in the main from Alexander Dennis based companies for both chassis and bodies since stopping buying from Volvo regularly in the late 1990's. Might this mean that Stagecoach is more keen to shop around and that future orders might be based on best cost deals rather than just simply ordered from ADL, also does it mean some of NFI's vehicles might become available through ADL.

I can also see why NFI have bought Alexander Dennis in that ADL Enviro200 and E500's have sold well in Canada and E500's in the USA, so it gives NFI the option to sell them directly in the USA and Canada through its own ranges, and even build them there completely from scratch in there factories thus bringing in extra work there and freeing up space here to make more buses as clean buses become the norm and need purchasing in order to meet Clean Air Zone schemes in large Cities such as Birmingham, Manchester, London, Glasgow and Newcastle.
