Does anyone know why the MMCs have been sold on please? As I see WOB still have a handful of older Enviro200s including a 58 plate (241).

All Diesel Buses are being withdrawn as this new stock enters service and replaces them

Maybe the MMCs have gone first as they had more interested buyers. or higher value

Maybe these will replace the MX09/59 pulsars instead of the Luton examples

Yeah i was replying to the question of why these might have been sold first rather than older Enviro 200s that are still in use at Warrington.

Newer vehicles also depreciate faster than older ones. Maybe someone crunched some numbers in a spreadsheet and thought keeping the older vehicles for an additional year provided better value for money.

I know there may be weekend variations. However, I wonder whether Warrington generally run specific length electric buses on specific routes or mix them up quite a bit?

Due to bus and non-bus interests I plan to come on a weekday in October to ride them.
