Only just over 100 StreetDecks are at Bolton so assuming other vehicles have been sold as well guessing Citaros.

106 StreetDecks, 28 Citaros is my understanding.

I understand the newest Enviro200's will be included in the 134 total too.

Makes sense. 107 streetdecks, 13 Enviro200s including the two ghost ones, 9 64 plate Citaros and the 5 ex Preston Citaros. Just my guess though. ???? I’ll stop guessing until official confirmation.

30006 and a similar former Wessex Plaxton B7 were taken away for scrap this morning by Trevor Wrigleys.

30005 should be the other one.

This afternoon I saw 40762 on the 20 service in Worsley. This was my first sighting of the new TfGM livery. While an operation of this scale demands simplicity in the livery, I was appalled by the insipid shade of yellow they've chosen.

I wonder whether they are being sold directly to Go North West, or to the TfGM RV for GNW to use on those services.

I believe they are being sold along with the depot to TFGM.
