Bluebird/Highland/North Scotland or whatever you want to call it is a no-go, they're sick to death of their B9TLs (which begs the question - why haven't they been foisted onto East Scotland?)

Again going back to the information I was given some weeks ago the intension was/is to keep them together in one group rather than dotted around all over the place - a crazy theory given that the red 'uni bus' is being retained in Manchester.

Apart from the red B7 I haven't heard anyone label the two presidents as 'unreliable' so it seems odd that they may have been withdrawn and replaced with dual door Tridents that apparently cannot be used on tenders as they as they are 'non spec' yet the presidents could.

Incidentally on the subject of the Tridents I've been told that unlike the ones used on the 141 drivers at Middleton have been told not to use the centre doors with he exception of wheelchair users using the ramp.
