I'm guessing they will be numbered 726-735. Any idea what length they will be?

Well IF Wrexham get the reported 5 commanders and some of the cadets from St Helens, then Bangor can have Wrexham's batch of slimline Solos.

This is from ST284.4 on the Green Lane thread..

2599, 2601 and 2602 are down to go to Wrexham along with 2578 and 2579 from Speke. When the new Hybrids, Electric buses and Gas buses arrive a major vehicle cascade programme will see many suprising bus movements which involve most if not all depots.

A reliable contact has informed me that there's currently no vehicles on order for Bangor depot

Logic would suggest as 695 as departed Wrexham that perhaps 690 to 694 would return back to Bangor where they were new to make a dent into replacing the MPDs but time will tell I guess.
Does anyone know exactly when the rest of the solos are joining bangor
