As I keep regularly seeing Magicbuses at the moment on various services and they seem to be regularly turning up on 76s at the moment as well, infact it seems a daily occurance that at least one Magicbus is on 76s now.

Lets not forget that the Universities are closed for the Summer, so would make sense to utilise them on other work while long term repairs and repaints can be undertaken on other stock and general refreshes. So they would just be using resources in a better way so to speak. In any case its likely the MagicBus brand will be abandoned next year and rolled out into on new corporate livery next year 2020, and that MagicBuses will not survive the role out of Electric and other new Enviro400's at Sharston depot next year.
