Alternatively buying secondhand buses, renting or some transfer from another part of the country like 2346 and 2350 did a few years back.

I don't think that loaning older buses to other depots in exchange for newer vehicles will happen personally

Second hand buses are very unlikely (there aren't any examples of second hand vehicles in the North West) and I don't think transfers from other provincial divisions to the North West are likely to happen any time soon. I wouldn't be surprised to see more vehicles arrive from London in the next year or two to replace the current ex-London stock in the North West though

It was 2346 and 2349 that transferred to Arriva the Shires
