Seems ironic that the Enviro400s are going back on the route that were originally used on when they were at Rusholme.
As for why the Enviro400s are being repainted I'm sure I read somewhere that it was due to some trips on there are busier than others and that the Citaroes weren't coping on there.
69176 tracking as 69179 the latter is no longer with Go North West
10 Citaros have been offered for sale between £12,500 and £14,000.
NK08 CHC, CHJ, CHV, CHX, CHY available now,
NK08 CHD, CHG, CHH, CHN, CHO available soon.
Considering they haven't been here very long and have apparently had a fair amount of money spent on them, I suspect they may be trying to flog some bags of nails!

I personally think the ones for sale are in better condition than the pink (41 branded) citaros. Plans change though, the elderly B7’s were tired and needed to go, the citaros were deemed a decent replacement, but the Evosetti’s serve three purposes, they are hybrid and need no converting or retrofitting, the engineers at Queens are familiar with the B5LH, and there will be no issue with capacity.

It seems the Citaros are stop gaps to allow the B7RLEs to be withdrawn I wonder how much longer the 41 branded examples will stay as I have a feeling they’ll be replaced in the next 12 months

Also seems wei were all lied to because the citaros are being advertised as Euro 5

Pretty sure the pink ones are being done.

They were only ever going to be stop gaps because of there age, but to be honest the B7’s are incredible workhorses and could probably do another 10 years with no issues, sadly only their age is against them.

Are there still any older B7s on the road here or have they all gone now?
