They use Bus and Coach World in Blackburn.
The new 'Deckers have ZF gearboxes, like 100/101 and 111-114.

It seems one of the Lynxes has managed to survive, hidden at the back of the scrap yard despite it being about 10 years or so since it's withdrawal. I presume this may be one of the last in existence (if there are any others left) due to them being hard/costly to repair.
Looks like Rosso are making changes to the 486 and 495 services from 19 July with the current 495 journeys running between Simister and Prestwich Tesco re-numbered to 90 and the journeys running between Simister and Prestwich Metrolink stop re-numbered 91 and extended to Bury via Whitefield and Radcliffe before following the 486 route into Bury.
I have noticed 208 has been renumbered to 250 but retained it's old livery, I presume this is to group it with 241 - 249 which have the later engine with the earlier version of the bodywork. Got it on the 480 today.

226 and 227 are now also 251 and 252. 241-252 have Euro 4 engines and high backed seating so are now all grouped together.
Does anyone know if any of 100/101 & 103-110 will be out of service either just for summer or withdrawn along with 19-31?

That's good to hear, I still need to ride most of the ex London B7's 104, 106, 109, 111, 112 & 114
Has any one got any information regarding the disposal of the olympians. Is there any chance any are going to be preserved
