First Manchester

RE: First Manchester
I can see the B7RLE's and the B9TL's being shifted out, but not the B10BLE's as their age accounts for First no longer needing to worry about them. However, is it possible that the older examples of Enviro400 (56 and 08) in the fleet down south could move up here to Wigan depot to shift out some of the B9TL's and B7RLE's? Just a thought, but if this was the case then the rest of the B7's that were still left could then just be replaced by Darts or more B10BLE's from either Oldham (the Pointer 2's from Pioneer, or possible reinstatement of other R reg's) or Manchester depot. Again it's just a thought, but it's a far cry better than seeing First-standard Volvo's being used by their partner in mass bus-industry crime!

If anyone could give me a number on how many 56 and 08 plate Enviro400's there are down south maybe this is a possibility, as I have heard they are earmarked for transfer this way and this is a possible outcome!
