Stagecoach Manchester

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
The vehicle situation has changed so I understand at least some of the cascaded Scottish Dart SLF's are not now coming to Wigan are instead going to Birkenhead and Chester, some more MAN's have been sourced from Manchester's own reserves and will go to Wigan, and further new vehicles are expected later in addition to the 14 already expected.

In regards to deckers that is an open question, what now seems possible is that a batch of Enviro400's as expected will cascade to Hull and possibly in return there batch of Plaxton President Tridents may go to Wigan, they where originally new to Manchester in anycase so the layout is right for TfGM contracts.

It is unlikely there will be any need for any further deckers as the openning of the Leigh Guided Busway in 2014 will mean all of the GEmini's become redundant then as its to be operated entirely by saloons and after that date Wigan will only have a need in terms of deckers for older ones for school work.
