I would think this is likely to be whats needed to take out all the Optare Excels with immediate effect of take-over and also to establish a rapid repaint programme for all Volvo B9TL's and Volvo B7RLE's if anything else gets repainted it remains to be seen.

37 transferred in from other Stagecoach operations (20 MAN's and 17 Dart's, might only be 15 Dart's though making 35), plus however many brand new Enviro 200's they're getting over the next few weeks (initially ordered for Wales). None of Manchester's reserve vehicles are currently expected to go to Wigan. As far as I've heard all of the Excel's and B10BLE's will be off with "immediate" effect, replaced by the transferred Dart's and MAN's.
