Bus Fleet
Stephensons currently has a fleet of 59 vehicles, mostly painted in their white and light green livery, but with a few in Asda and Tesco liveries which run the free bus services to these supermarkets. The fleet consists of 35 single-deckers, 50 double-deckers, and 4 coaches. A fleet of four new low-floor, 24-seat, 7.8m Optare Solo Slimlines were purchased in April 2007 to replace the Mercedes-Benz Sprinters used by Arriva on the Dengie Connections services. Two more new low-floor, 28-seat, 8.8m Optare Solo Slimlines were purchased in October 2008 to run the Withamlink routes 38 and 39 under contract to Essex County Council.
