300 Citaros.. hopefully they option it with the OM457 engine instead of the OM906.. and perhaps the 150 additional B9TLs (I would presume that its 150 previously ordered + another 150 new options) will come with Wright Eclipse Gemini II bodywork as well?

These 300 Merc buses are probably ordered to replace MK IIIs...

Nice! =)

But then it is lesser buses???

Suppose they replace 300 Mark 3 with 300 single deck.... OK. Same... But the double- deckers????

300 double deckers to replace 500 double deckers? [(200x Leyland Olympian 3 Axle, 100x Volvo Olympian 2 Axle, 200x Volvo Olympian 3 Axle (Batch 1)]

LO3x already been replace by the current 150 B9TLs which SBST placed order last year. not exactly the entire 200 LO3x though.. further, they can extend lifespan of certain buses by one year...

If SBST is to built all the buses itself, i think it will be big issue...
