Don't forget though, that there will be other fleet changes prompted not only be service reductions/withdrawals, but by the exchange of work between Hyde Road and Sharston. HE will operate the revised 42 group of services, with the 50 transferring to SH. 12233-46 will almost certainly transfer with the 50, as they are suitably branded. Its not clear what will move the other way, not least because whilst the (reduced) 42 is already a hybrid route, the 42A & 42B (basically an all stops X57) aren't. Looking at the timetable, the 42A & 42B will interwork, requiring an off-peak allocation of 9 buses.

The provisional Period 11 fleet card also shows 11 more Enviro400s into Wigan along with two Enviro200's with 22352-358, 361, 521, 572, 583, 586, 587 moving out.
