What gets me is, first Manchester don't see they're the main reason that we're likely to get franchising and upping the age of the fleet isn't going to help

Maybe if franchising looks more likely, First will allow Manchester to have a fairly old fleet. Buses would then be withdrawn where First lose the routes but replaced, potentially with new stock, where First keep or gain routes.
