What will probably happen is a cascade effect where Hybrid's will move to 38's etc, then that will free up 09 plate examples for Oxford Road. Really there is no longer a need for MagicBus as all the competition off Oxford Road has been defeated over the past 20 years or so, bar a little bit of Go North West and Vantage that's hardly worth them getting upset about.

Why are they getting rid of stagecoach gold???

Seems an odd thing to do as on longer distance routes surely people would appreciate a bit of extra comfort as opposed to a standard bus. Magic bus I can see why it's going as they haven't really got much competition as you mentioned.
