I have a gut feeling Stagecoach will only get Stockport and lose the rest with Rotala and First getting small franchises, not sure who will get the rest of the large franchises but I can see Go Ahead getting at least one.
Pretty sure the plan was only to keep 8 StreetDecks and to replace everything else. Some vehicles will obviously stay until January for the routes that are only transferring in Tranche 3.
How long is is expected that the Go Ahead loans at Queens Road will stay for? I would presume other than the Gemini 2s they'll all be scrapped once all the new vehicles are delivered.
I'm pretty sure the Free Bus Optares are owned by TfGM and if so they were always staying at Queens Road. I can see 6230-6332 going to Bolton alongside the rest of the batch. The 3 other Citaros will probably be disposed of or become training vehicles.
What diagrams are most likely to have a 777 on them? last part of the network ive not rode on one yet as I did the New Brighton branch on a 777 last week
