Does anyone know the dates or the time of year which the 1982-1989 fleet of Neoplans were delivered?

I'm currently reworking the Neoplan history page on the site...

On a Similar note and a ongoing thing, I've decided to redo the Neoplan History page. It is now divided into four pages due to the fact more photos has been added!! Again we will like to thank all of those who contribute photos & information to the page.

If you guys want to add more information to this page, please send me a pm. Like I said I'm in it for the knowledge.

enjoy!!

The Neoplan AKs(8286-8434) began arriving in the fall of 1982 through early 1983. 8285 was the "test bus", & was sent back for modification specs & sent back once the AK order was complete.

The Neo BDs(8435-8584) started arriving by the summer of 1983 up until the first couple weeks of January 1984.

Th Neo BMs(8601-8725) started arriving throughout the summer & fall of 1984(Neo BPs 1301-1325 arrived by September 1984, for use on the less frequently traveled routes assigned to Luzerne at that t, such as the 25, 57 & 89).

The Neo CDs(8726-8875) started arriving in the winter of 1984-1985).

The ZFer groups of Neos started creeping up in early 1987, OUT OF NOWHERE.

The EZ group of Neos(1989), started arriving in the late spring & early summer of 1989 & the operators & riders @ Comly must have welcomed them in arms.

I know the last of the Neoplans were built in late 1989, so I assume the last ones arrived in early 1990.
