Queens Road could very well be one depot as a Streetlite has been running around Manchester on familiarisation duties. Oldham depot always seem to get new buses, as B7RLEs, B9TLs and the Enviro 400s all arrived into service in Oldham when they first arrived. Even the Citaros started in Oldham when new.

Chances are that one or two depots will get the new buses (Streetlites, Enviro 300s etc) and then some of the current vehicles will then be relocated to other depots.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the remaining Darts, B10BLEs, Scania L113/94s and B6BLEs go. This would then leave the Citaros to be considered maybe next year. But that's just my guess.
