SCANIA has won orders for 37 more coaches and buses for British operators, giving it a fighting chance of securing a greater share of the market next year.
London-based Derek Randall Enterprises, which switched this year from Daf to buy 15 K112 coaches with Jonckheere P50 bodies, is buying another 25 next spring with low driving position P599 bodies. They will be used for continental work and will have a variety of seating layouts.
A further four coaches of similar design have been ordered by Heyfordian Travel of Oxfordshire for use on a Global Tours contract.
And Scania's only regular customer for service buses in Britain, Newport Borough Transport, is taking eight more N112DR double-deckers to add to its fleet of 74 Scania and Scania-powered buses. While its other Scania double-deckers have Marshall bodies, these will have 74-seat Alexander R-type bodies.
