That's an interesting link, nice to see

I knew that some Eclipses were being held back for Finglands too. I admit that I am unsure how many buses First will need. I am not even sure whether they will register an identical network to Finglands or start from scratch with their own choice of schedules.

Hopefully they will operate new deckers (although it seems unlikely) and keep the route network. It would be good if bus 42 went every 10 mins and timed so that it makes a 5 minute headway from Withington to Manchester

Looking good, but on one of the links it mentions that some have gone to Barnsley, whats all that about?

PVS Scrap yard is in Barnsley and the link is referring to some former Bury citaros that went for scrap
