So far only 23 has been - it's also been repainted, and looks smart in its new owner's cream and dark green livery.

With 20 and 22 having been observed in the south Manchester area, it looks like all three have left the fleet, so presumably the suggestion that one of them was going to become a driver trainer is not happening after all.

Who are 20 and 22 with in Manchester then?

Don't know where they are now, only that they were observed on the road near the Airport a couple of weeks ago (post 1299). They might have just been passing through. (Presumably on trade plates, wherever they were going.)

Actually, it looks like I misread, and it isn't certain that the second one was 22 after all. Terence only said "the mini Marshall and another full size one".

Having said that though, Manchester Airport is not on the obvious route from Widnes to Leeds, where 23 has gone; so it does seem more likely that it was 22.

I was racking my brain last night trying to think of a Manchester operator who may take them but because of thier age I carnt see them ending up here in Manchester.

Here is conclusive proof that 69 exists!
Its registration is YX62 BNJ.

All three went to SquarePeg in Leeds, two of the drivers got a bit lost on thier way there, so ended up by the airport coming off the M56 too early rather than staying on to the M60!

Furthermore 56 was also used for a Phillips advert staring Jurgen Klopp,
