The scale of the shrinkage in the coach market is best illustrated by the fact that when the totals for 2020 and 2021 are added together they still only represent 62% of the 2019 total of nearly 1,200. It was fortunate that Translink put in service a large fleet of new coaches, 63 Volvo B11R compared with only four in 2020. Another source of increased demand was National Express. Deliveries of Caetano's Levante HI for use on its contracts nearly doubled to 64. These increases helped counterbalance reductions in demand from Stagecoach and the independent operators who account for most of the market. |
