Indeed, if First had accidentally made the wrong decision regarding transfers out of Rusholme, I thought the error would have been transferring these buses direct to QR instead of BN/ON releasing other stock to QR.

Also, the price agreed for divesting QR would have been part decided by the intended fleet to change hands ie a higher price if newer or lower price if older fleet.
