Speaking of which 69179 was seen on the 507 before. Another loan? |

RE: First Manchester
The prospect of all the ex-Olympics buses due for Manchester just displacing their own older kit to the scrapyard is not likely to be an accurate predication. I suspect that, whilst some of the oldest Darts are likely to go (and they certainly need to...) along with the Excels, the Enviros will also displace a number of 05- and onwards plated full-size buses to other areas which will need to start replacing the earliest First standard Scania L113s, which have now turned, or very soon will turn, 15 and so are fully depreciated. |
