Think the 45/6 were withdrawn when Metrolink was extended?
The MagicBus MANs were definitely sent to Yorkshire to discourage First from competeing, however in the end they went into swoops as SYPTE introduced a QBP on the routes in question.

Actully the MANs were sent to replace Wright Renowns that had been sent to swindon,heres a report about there withdrawels,look like some part of the routes was replaced by 84

That is what ended up happening, but the MANs originally went over for the purpose I stated. They hung around in reserve for a while before they went back into swoops and replaced those Renowns.

I would imagine that the Bluebird B7TL will be very quickly disposed - there's plenty of standard vehicles spare in Manchester at the moment to replace it.
