So with less than two weeks until Tranche 2 goes live, what can we expect vehicles wise on go live date ? I know that there are big orders, but few of these will have been delivered (I believe 25 ish of the Oldham BYD/ADL deckers and a handful of the Stagecoach Enviro 400MMCs.
At the moment, I think there are roughly the following at each depot
Queens Road (currently Go NW - transferring to Stagecoach)
92 deckers
62 single deck
3 Versas for schools
12 Versas for the city centre free bus
Oldham (currently First - transferring to Stagecoach)
82 deckers
58 single deck
14 Versas for schools
Middleton (staying with Stagecoach)
40 deckers
9 single deck
Rochdale (currently Transdev - transferring to First but some routes staying with Transdev and operated from other depots)
6 deckers
69 single deck
