There's also been a lot of speculation about where the MAN engined Enviro400's will end up, with Wigan hot favourite but apparently they are all staying put at ST.

Yes the final verdict is all the 59 reg's are staying at Stockport, presumably meaning Ashton's 06/56 East Midlands bound deckers will now be replaced by the 08 reg's.

Unless they're getting rid of the tridents from London?
Although it would make sense, as there are quite a few tridents slipping onto routes other than schoolbuses.

The London tridents are going to Wigan in the summer apparently, presumably to replace the Arrows which currently run the school services.
So that's about 10 of 40 accounted for. Now that we know Stockport are doing ALL of the 192 from the end of Jan, that's another 8 boards, meaning only 32 can leave anyway. I dare say a few more developments will occur in due course as there wouldn't be 22 buses going to Ashton surely.
