I think that accident in Manchester a few months back where the Arriva bus ploughed into the stagecoach vehicles has possibly saved their bacon as its reported both Magic buses involved will be scrapped hence why the Spectra's will live on. Although a repaint dosen't give them a garenteed future in Manchester.

I was told both Spectra's are liked by Stagecoach staff and have required very little mechanical work since they joined the fleet in 2008 so this could explain why they are keen to hang on to them.
With the 56 reg Enviro400's apparently replacing Tridents at Stockport it would have made more sense to give two of Tridents the blue treatment. I'm fairly sure the X reg Tridents are DDA complient??
