Alexander Dennis Limited seem to be very strong in the UK bus market at the moment (relative to their competitors, at least). Stagecoach have bought very little else since the launch of the Enviro MMC, and other operators - even some that previously had majority Wright fleets - are buying Enviros as well.
But this begs the question, what's the furthest you could theoretically travel on bus and/or coach journey in Great Britain without being on an ADL vehicle?
Conditions for this thread are as follows:
- Time doesn't matter, so there's no requirement to take the fastest available route or the soonest available connection - with the caveat that catching a bus back the way you've come, or anything similarly silly (such as staying on the same bus all the way round a circular), doesn't count - in other words, use common sense! Equally, the ability to eat, sleep, use a toilet etc. don't matter, this is purely a theoretical thread
- Vehicles produced before ADL existed - for example the ALX400 - don't count as an ADL product, but Plaxton coaches produced after the ADL acquisiton do count as an ADL product
- You can use routes where the type of vehicle allocated varies only if less than half the services on it are likely to be run with ADL vehicles
