I think the only Dart still being worked on at Stockport is 33868 (OO06 BLU) that has been there about a year!

Thanks for the responses everyone - most helpful. I am surprised that it has taken Stagecoach so long to dispose of some of the Bluebird (and JPT buses), given that many were non-standard, a bit long in the tooth, and would need repainting.

33856 was in use at Middleton until recently, but I have not seen it out and about for a couple of weeks, and there was a report that it had swapped with 39642 some little time ago.
