The 418 has been tendered for a few months at least. I don’t know why it didn’t show up on the timetable.

I can’t possibly argue with your statement, however it would seem odd Arriva directly competing with Stagecoach. Considering they’ve dropped their bus provision in the past couple of years, I’d be surprised they’d take this up. Anyhow, I can’t see it lasting.
