Also, the five Enviro300s that only came to Wigan from Scotland last Autumn are due to go in reserve. Again, though (at least) 22521 was still in service on Friday. Hopefully 26141-5 are imminent. That might balance withdrawals and PVR reductions more clearly.

Oh right, fair enough! How come they're putting modern vehicles like this into reserve? I don't understand the logic of it; the likes of Arriva still have pre-2005 stuff running about in regular service yet Stagecoach are putting stuff from 2005/6/8 to one side!
