In Scunthorpe, the main bus operator is Stagecoach. But the last time we got brand new buses was in 2004 in the RoadCar days, and ever since Stagecoach took over, Scunthorpe has never, ever had a single brand new bus, (unless you count the buses for the 350 Fastcat route to Hull), instead using 'cast offs' from other depots such as Grimsby. The newest we ever had was some single decker Enviros that were about just over three years old at the time of the Scunthorpe depot receiving them.
If your town or city is served by Stagecoach, First or any other major business operator, what's the policy of getting new buses? Does it periodically get brand new buses or just 'cast offs' from elsewhere?
