That's a shame, who is getting them instead and what is Queens Rd getting now?

There is apparently a plan to send them to First Hampshire/portsmouth as they have on VF down there. The QS thing is uncertain at the mo, only one thing is 10 B10BLEs are off to BN one of which is in service and that is 60663

69139 was on the 8 this afternoon (23 Aug.) , whilst 34104 & 34105 were both on the 519 at Bolton.

Yes i also saw them, not so keen on 69139s livery though, it looks ok, but not my cup of tea, id have thought it would have suited a B9 better

Looks like another vehicle is going to be re-painted into a old livery, this time a B9TL:

RE: First Manchester
It's had the old livery rubbed down to be painted over in that photo hence the blotchy appearance of the remaining sections of old livery. I highly doubt they'll spend money on the amount of paint required for a double deck vehicle just to put it back into a previous livery!

A SELNEC/GMT/GM Buses livery would also be welcomed.

RE: First Manchester
66872OM 66873OM are in Bury most likely movements and 66875 is at QS with 66891 at BN these seem to be the start of the movements
