streetlites due here are 63096-63116

So which routes will the Streetlites probably end up on?

Have Oldham retired the Plaxton Pointers as the Enviros on route 81/81A have freed up some Eclipses? Or are the Citaros from Bury replacing them?

Would be good to see the new Bury B9's on route 524.

all i know is the plan is the 9 Envrios at Devon to move to Bolton displacing 9 B9s to Bury where they will displace 9 citros to Oldham

pioneer the 2 arrows and 40380/82 to be taken out of service
