I was going to ask would this mean First's Oldham Depot finally getting a new fleet replacing some of the vehicles they've got but considering it won't happen in Oldham till 2024 I would hope that Oldham will have replaced some of their vehicles by then due to the age needed for tenders as I'm sure some of the older Gemini B9s are getting on a bit now and will probably need replacing by then.

Unlikely to get new is it worth having devaluing new buses on a company that may not have a depot in a few years time. Unless by having better buses they get a better cash out.
