If there were to be no buses in Manchester older than 2007, what would happen to the Magic Routes? I can't see 70 five year old buses suddenly being painted blue somehow. The Wigan fleet would then have to be turned upside down. Yes, there's been some new buses recently but there's still around 80 or so older than 2007. It may be possible that all Enviro400's will be 07 reg or newer, with a lot of older Enviro400's due for cascade soon, but as for the older end of the fleet, I think it may be some years yet before we see 100% 2007 or newer, unless of course the Green Bus Fund gives Manchester enough funds to buy around 150 or more new hybrids, which is slightly ambitious to put it mildly

I agree that replacing everything older than 07 does sound crazy, but only as crazy as you suggesting they will transfer 07 deckers out and bring older, shabbier deckers in to run Wigan depots Manchester routes.

Yes point taken on that one.
