Fully Branded Bluebird Livery No Stagecoach Logos or anything as far as i could tell its at the exit as you leave the depot against the fence
Thanks, was just curious as AFAIK it's never seen service under Stagecoach ownership.
All of the JPT and Bluebird vehicles for disposal have now left if that's what you mean?
Only 33856, 33860-3/8 not in service (reserve) from Bluebird now.
There was Around 20 T-MVM Buses and S-TRJ's and also a couple of bluebird buses a couple of ex Stagecoach Western X Plates? an Eclipse against the wall (Assume nothing wrong with it) and approx 10 DD Magics and a couple of heavily cannibalized buses
Simple Answer is catch the 610 it goes into the depot and you can see what is what!

16797/9, 17175/670, 18281/3/7/8, 22103/5/29/30/3/6/8/44/5/7/57/8/63/5/7/80-5/9/212, 33780/860-3/8, 47002. I suspect 16798 might also be there, but I'm surprised 33856 has been withdrawn just yet, given Middleton are two Darts down following accidents within hours and a few hundred metres of each other last week!
As for your simple answer:
As you might guess from my username, it would involve a 40+ mile round trip in questionable weather. I also doubt all 30 odd buses would be seen and identified in one quick circuit. I raised the subject, because the inference of the original message was that many MANs had disappeared, but "around 20" is much more in line with my list above.
I presume by "ex Stagecoach Western X plates" you mean 33780 and either 33775/9, previously (wrongly?) reported as sold to PVS.
16798 is still in Service at Middleton but should be heading to Wigan any time now
Theres a huge PVR drop at Middleton from 25th so i assume thats when 33856 will pass into Reserve (on paper its been in Reserve for about 3 months now)
