Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Also regarding Bryn have some more modern First units been taken out of service for repainting as there appears to be an abundance of Volvo B10BLE's operating Wigan stuff of late although some B7RLE's and B9TL's have been seen but unusually for 600's on a Sunday todays bus was R627CVR which is quite unusual for Sunday operation.

Incidentally cannot see all B10BLE's being immediately withdrawn or its 37 buses to replace 42 in my reconing unless First wheren't that efficient with their vehicles, I suspect the S---SVU's might last a bit longer along with X699ADK should it go over, possibly just weeks till somethinge lse gets sourced from Stagecoach's reserve fleet. Also not to mention you've a repaint programme to undertake on all the B9TL's and B7RLE's.

I suspect that if all the B10BLE's age going as suggested, then maybe some MAN's off the Manchester reserve will appear as well or possibly something else that we haven't expected from out of the main Manchester fleet that hasen't been but aside as such.
