I carnt see them investing in new vehicles at Middleton yet, if you consider that over the last 12 months all the original Stagecoach Manchester depots have received new vehicles except for Middleton, so I would expect plenty of cascades though.
There seems to be a plan at Stockport to get rid of all the MANs replacing them with the new Enviro200's, so I would expect a few to maybe linger at Middleton for a while but lost are past thier best.

As for London stock it's always an option but they don't seem to fond of the ex London Tridents, plus it took them several months to convert them.

Those Tridents don't have such good interiors. They still have dark grabrails for example. By comparison, when I rode one at Gillmoss (namely 17269) it had been refurbished to include light orange grabrails.
