RE: First Manchester
There's obviously been an order for 100 Enviros. Going by the posted number, 9 are required in Plymouth for Park & Ride (so I therefore assume that the P&R required 9 vehicles) and then the rest have just seemingly been allocated to Manchester.

RE: First Manchester
Hope these new buses allow, some of the depots to clear the tired old stock, and Iam reffering to Wigan and Bury. They are bound to benefit, form some surplus B9s

Some of the buses to be casaceded B9TL's are identified as going to Rock Ferry to replace the B7TL's there which where only temporary, they will either go back to Yorkshire or perhaps pastures new or for downgrading as school buses somewhere.

South Yorkshire will be due rather more investment in future years due to a quality partnership agreement hence why buses now haven't been cascaded. Many B9TL's might also get cascacaded to Glasgow and or Aberdeen rather than be reallocated to other depots Wigan may recieve nothing due to uncertanty as to wether its being sold and all its current fleet will remain there.

Hope they don't cascade too many, plenty of Arrows, Olympians and Darts to replace here!
