• Plaxton Coach & Bus ended 1991 with a batch of new orders, worth around £5m, for a mixture of Pointers, Excaliburs and Paramounts.
London Buses has ordered a further 40 8.5m Pointer bodies on Dennis Darts taking the total number ordered last year to 77. In addition, Brighton Borough ordered seven 9.8m Dart Pointers last month. Bus sales director David Quainton says a total of 220 Pointer units have been sold since the launch in January 1991.
PCV operators Tappins and Dodsworth have ordered two Excaliburs each and Harry Shaw has requested two Premiers on Scania chassis.
Bus Eireann, which is standardising its fleet, has ordered 20 Paramount bodies on Daf MB chassis and six stock Paramount bodies on Leyland Tigers.
All the bodies will be made at Plaxton's Scarborough factory.
