Only one Enviro400 was being used but unfortunately more breakdowns has caused the contract to be lost!

I don't believe this for a second. As Nicholas said last time there is more to this than just simply reliability.
It is rather telling that on early versions of the takeover sheets the Arrows were to be replaced by London Tridents in summer, but later versions published before the takeover simply had the Arrows being disposed without relacement.

To me that suggests that Stagecoach had been planning to drop some contracts this summer for some time.
