Although I have no details at all of commercial changes in north Manchester (ie. ex Bluebird/Jpt services), from what I know elsewhere in the Stagecoach Manchester/Wigan network, there will be a small increase in double-deck pvr, albeit a big reduction in (hopefully) smaller capacity buses. This is due to significant cuts at Middleton (tendered routes) and Stockport (commercial routes)

That's interesting.
I must admit I've not kept up to date with the Tridents stored at Wigan - I know a few (4 I think) have been used on Merseyside rail replacement work. Is the intention to use them with the centre door in situ like the Magics on the 141 or have any been converted to single door?
I'm presuming these will mainly see use at Wigan following the rumours that it's to gain up to 30 deckers?
