Therefore it seems logical that the B9s will be going on commercial routes that are still Olympian operated, or cascading Tridents down for the same purpose.

Aberhill doesn't have any B7/9s allocated currently, so again I can't see it being where the B9TLs end up. The same is true for Cowdenbeath.

Drifting off the Manchester topic I know, but your knowledge of the Fife operations is rather flawed.
Many of the former London Tridents are in regular all day work, as a lot of the school work is linked to regular local bus work - both tendered and commercial. Whilst some Olympians do stray at times on to all day work, this has become much more rare recently. Therefore my previous comments stand regarding their likely allocation.
