Yep they haven’t been out in service for quite a while now so the future is looking bleak for them. 151 is another that’s parked up and I doubt that will see the road again, shame as it was a very nice bus to drive.

VDL 182 is the first decker to be repainted into the new livery
Looks smart IMO

Assume that the deckers they are keeping will be repainted and renumbered 3xx with the others phased out.

Slightly off topic gents but if when the franchises come to gm can warrington buses be involved in the franchise bidding ie the route 100 from warrington to manchester and other urban Manchester routes? Any help in this appreciated

If they meet the qualifying criteria I don't see why they can't bid but I think they would have to bid for a number of routes packaged together, rather than submitting a bid for one individual route.

Also partly OT - what will happen to cross-border services ?
Will 100 terminate at somewhere like Irlam, rather than continue to Warrington ?
Wiil "Cat 5", Warrington - Altrincham still exist, when most of the route is outside GM territory ??

What services are cross border into and out of Greater Manchester (Can make a separate thread if needed if it’s too much of topic)

There's loads. As well as the Cheshire routes there's a lot between West Yorkshire/Derbyshire and the eastern GM boroughs. I did hear something about GM franchised services running to Macclesfield.
