Yes there is a the option to extend the contract by one year, same for the SL3 and SL5. Certainly hope the SL5 doesn't get an extension, I can't wait to see the back of those awful ENXs. Hopefully some 12m buses are ordered for its new contract. They're not that bad - they just have unique bone shaking qualities and also rather noisy when driven at speed on the SL5.

I also thought myself that they were okay for a short contract … until I rode one on Sunday 😂 ENX7 really was utterly diabolical. I thought being a newer version of the classic E200 they would be better than most, but oh how wrong I was 🤣

They were way better than the older ones which were rattle snakes on wheels. ENX1 was the best. It is a good thing SLSs were not used as a temporary measure they are the worst buses on the face of the earth.

Surely they cannot be worse than SLD1-9, those were rolling bone shakers and with poo drum brakes you literally had to almost stand up on the brake pedal to make the things stop.
