What's the common mileages for various stagecoach/first vehicles?
Example the 07 stagecoach alx300s
06 stagecoach darts
Older ex traction vehicles etc
First alx400s
First b10bles
Heck for anyone that knows; volvo olympian s, Leyland olympian, volvo b10ms
I understand mileage differs greatly based on routes and usage but by how much perhaps?

The 07 plate alx300's are around 300k, the ex tracky solos are around 500k.
I'd imagine there's been many older vehicles have hit 1 million miles over there lifetime.
As for coaches there a different matter the megabus vehicles can rack up crazy miles in just a few years.

Really highlights the best most robust manufacturers IN theory a bus can rack up a few engine rebuilds before disposal? |

I'd imagine the Sheffield examples will have more miles on them. |

It's not high for a bus - it's 136 miles a day on average for those 07-plates over 6 years.

some of the X78s must be doing 200 miles a day, hence the high figure for 37262, others must be on similar figures

Well in an average day I can rack up about 50 miles driving in about 4 - 5 hours on one bus and the bus will be out for approx 15 hours per day maybe more so 3 or 4 drivers per day doing 50miles soon adds up to some major mileage. It all depends on what work its on too and how hard its driven. At Barnsley the 07 Plate ALX300/MANs usually are on the 11 to Athersley North so quite an easy life with the occasional longer run. I believe that the Spryte/B6bles at Rawmarsh which were on the 108/109 did at least a million miles

I'd be interested to know what mileage the native B10ble's have done in their 14/15 years service and which one has the highest. Maybe The Captain can answer this one?

Rotherham's B10BLE's have apparently done a lot more miles than OG's. There was a mention about a year ago that most of RO's native ones are over the million mark and OG's highest was around 650,000? 60658 is the highest OG if I remember correctly.
OG Streetlites are hovering around the 3000 mark.
Sheffield FreeBee's around 42,000 if I remember right.

The thing to note though is some clocks are in miles and some are in km.
Most Rotherham BLEs have been round the clock now. The older ALXs, W/X regs around 500k and I think most the RO B7Ls are similar.The 372..s at Rotherham have mileages quite a bit higher than the other B9s at Rotherham. With the duck buses the 6905..s are all a little bit higher than the 6903/6904s and have been since they came, they'll be about 350-400k now.

Had a feeling OG's highest would be a T-MAK.also Wonder what the olympians are on with their use on 272's |

Rotherham's Olympians were not very high really for their age. About 600/700k IIRC but ex London buses aren't
