We don't know how many (if any) buses Stagecoach are "selling" into the pool, Diamond have transfered some away already and how many of Arrivas will come when their Bolton ops end in September? GNW will have to make sure they have enough buses for the 24th September and then the long task of painting them all yellow...
Arriva isn't selling anything to TfGM.

I’ve read these will now be E200MMCs due to a quicker build time but still won’t be due until early next year which is why some ex First streetlights have been purchased.
