There do seem to be questions on this like for instance overall allocation, as this read last night, Oldham are sending 6 B9S to Bury Depot used at the olympics in new livery. Can only assume that these will be 09 plate, as Oldham I doubt would send anything less. At this moment in time, it would seem its a straight swap 6 barbie B9s from the current 07 fleet at BY For the 6 at OM in new livery. If it does play out like this I can't see Oldham being bothered with them being 07 as they will have new buses to play with anyhow 50 of them. So it might be that Bury doesn't send any B9s in exchange because will Oldham need them?. Not to mention the surplus B9s that youd expect there to be with 100 new buses arriving in the next few weeks. So where will any spare B9s go? My guess would be Wigan maybe Bury as well. But of course this does depend on new buses and any overall allocation changes over the next few weeks.
