I'm surprised at that - I always thought the Preston bus operation was Rotala's 'golden apple'.

I remember seeing an article on line what an employee had told one of the local papers.

A search of the Lancashire evening post website has brought up this one from 2014.

Diamond Scania/Omnidekkas 40413/40414 (YV03 PZX/PZZ) were outside Wigan Bus Station at about Noon today (2 November 2016), together with T42PVM, still in Wigan Coachways livery.
40413 was displaying 361, Wigan via Standish, the others were parked.

Was told by diamond, that they wont be repainting any of the deckers. Could this mean they will be sold on?

Possibly strip them of the livery and just have them plain

Solo K40SLT the one that was involved in the incident in Tyldesley a couple of months ago is now back at Aterton Depot and will be back in service from there shortly.

The deckers could head on to Preston Bus,, as they're suffering from a shortage of available deckers. Buses magazine reports that one was transferred up from Diamond WM to Preston, and so it could be that these ones may end up going there as well.
