I think at the moment the few First vehicles at Rusholme are there for training the Finglands drivers. The First vehicles destined for Rusholme are being'prepped' elsewhere and should start to appear in the coming couple of weeks.
It will be a gradule process and won't happen overnight as the drivers need a certain amount of training.

I'm told that a number of Finglands vehicles should disappear on the weekend of 8/9th March when they will be taken over to EYMS. Not sure if its all or just some but if the information is correct then that might be when the changes really start to happen.

What vehicles are expected at Rusholme other than those Tridents at Bolton and the Streetlites?

As far as I can gather a number of B7's with ALX bodies are being preped at various depots, I think most have come from Yorkshire.

Its strange the former finglans fleet had tridents with alx400 bodywork and b7tl's with president bodywork yet the vehicles they are going to get are the opposite way round as in b7tls with ALX400 and President Tridents
