I thought it very odd considering that the Tridents are very quickly disappearing. Why have Stagecoach done this now?

My first thought was that maybe they were doing it because those buses could be going to other UK Stagecoach companies so having the "magic bus" brand elsewhere, with potential passengers not necessarily knowing that magic bus is a Stagecoach company / branding. Any thoughts?

Not all of the tridents are departing, the branding is simply reflective of the new "magic bus" brand, of which not all students (the main customer of the magic bus manchester service) are aware that it is a Stagecoach service, and that they can use and purchase multi-journey tickets from the driver.
