Allocation is 50 to OM and the other 50 going to BN

Bloody hell how many 'new' buses to Bolton and Oldham want at all?! They've already got loads of MX58XXX B9TLs! It'd be nice if some of those new ones came to Bryn for the 600. As mentioned before though, maybe some other things from other depots may come to Bryn to cover the Darts and Excels that seem to be getting withdrawn quite a lot recently. In terms of Darts, 40390 and 40396 have been withdrawn with 40396 going to PVS, and in terms of Excels, 60156, 60158 and 60160 have all been withdrawn. Maybe some of the B7RLEs or even some of the B9TLs from Bury and/or Oldham would come in to Bryn to get rid of more of those. We shall wait and see! :P

I Must say Thomas, I thought as you did, about Bolton and Oldham getting all the new vehicles, espically as you say Wigan's stock is shall we say very tired indeed. But of course we all know the money spinners are priority, and first may well, think lets keep the death traps on the road, a little while longer, at the expense of giving all the sugar candy to OM And BN
