I Could actually envisage what Mbonwick Suggests and the SN56 plated Enviros at Preston ending up at GM and maybe any ALX400's at Preston to and Preston having all the Scania's for Longer distance. so that could be any of 18157-9 18354/5/6/8/9/60/4/6/72/74 19031-45?
The 04 plate ALX400s will probably end up spread around if anything. Chorley need 1 or 2 to replace 17021 and provide another spare (can't see them wanting to put Golds onto schools somehow!)
Preston will also want rid of 17448, and Rock Ferry rid of 17111/3.
That leaves about 18 other vehicles to account for, which would sit well with 15 Enviro400s to replace (nominally on Preston routes 1/2) and send to Gillmoss. Assuming that happens, it would be a slight expansion on the 9 deckers currently allocated.
18148 is currently in Gillmoss. Presume its only to have work done on it though.
One of the worst allocations i have seen for some time was Optare Solo 47482 on the 10A!
On other notes 17283 was on the 10A and 17272 (?) Was still out on 86s at gone 11pm

I second that. Havnt a clue why either because there was a dart on the 198 Kirkby Circular. Its stupid if you ask me.
47711 and 36072 on the 53 today.
Does anyone know what happened to 33177? I know 33175/6 went to East Kent for further service and 33178/9 went up to Scotland for some training programme, but i havnt a clue what happened to 33177.
33177 also went to GTG Training along with 33178/9.

Ahh right, thanks. Are these still Stagecoach buses or did they get sold?
They were donated. While GTG is a completely separate company, at the time they had just started providing training for Stagecoach apprentices, so needed vehicles to 'practice' on.
