they'll come, just will take a while like stated before, and if they were not they would look for alternatives, since it looks like the only new buses coming is Sunderland's then the ALX400's should come this year - a quick repaint and possible refurbishment then they'll look brand new to the common commuter.

And on another subject with the 36's, they should just be ALX300 opearted, since thats what is usually on there anyway !!!

Of the Tridents, I understand 17025/6/8 have been repainted in Hull (which will mean minor alterations to match the NE standard) the rest will need repainting. As they will mainly be for schools, the interior doesn't really matter straight away.

As for the 36, ALX300s are the main back-up to the Enviro300s. What the main problem is, the engines in the Enviro300s are too small for their size. We all know about the problems between MAN and Stagecoach, so hopefully we may get to a point where they are re-engined with Cummins engines as one of the East Lancs-bodied example has.

I realised about the interior after writing and lets hope that the Enviro300's do get better engines!
