Stagecoach seem to be a fan of pretty much exclusively Alexander
Dennis products, whose range doesn't (as I recall) include a bendybus.
They do seem to have a small fleet of Optare's here in Lancashire
Neil and PB have a mixed variety of vehicles, it remains to be seen if
they respray and keep them all .

From Observation, Stagecoach have a very standardised fleet of
Alexander and Dennis products. You will see the occasional oddball order
where they are trying a new type.

Currently the standard seems to be

Mini: Optare Solo (MAN engines)
Midi: ADL Enviro200Dart (on Dennis/MAN chassis)
Full Size: ADL Enviro300 (on Dennis/MAN chassis)
Double Deck: ADL Enviro400 (on Dennis chassis mostly)
Coaches: Plaxton/Volvo
