Also apparently the first of the Olympians to be finally withdrawn from Middleton is 16797 and has now gone to Bryn Depot for storage

Other news is that Sharston Depot have currently got 17175, 17670 and 19260 on loan at the moment due to 3 of their Enviro 400s being sent to Hyde Road to be repainted into Magicbus livery

17497 is indeed in Stagecoach corporate livery, and is being well used by Middleton at the moment - I saw it on a School service on Friday afternoon, and it has been a fixture on the 112 yesterday and today. I have also seen the two Magic liveried Tridents, but not in service, so it does look as though they are being used for schools. They don't seem to be based at Middleton, as I have passed then heading away from the depot in the early evening for the last week or so.
