Stagecoach seem to be a fan of pretty much exclusively Alexander
Dennis products, whose range doesn't (as I recall) include a bendybus.


Not a great surprise given the Souter shareholding in Alexander Dennis.
To be strictly fair Stagecoach bought a lot of Alexander bodied products
over the years but that may well be loyalty to a Scottish business as
much as anything. Stagecoach have bought a lot of Optare Solos as the
low floor successor to Mercedes minibuses.
