In a surprise move, 19481 now carries Bee Network yellow, presumably first of a fair few to get it.

Noted 36073 GG55 BLU back at Middleton Depot when I passed today. Back to its old haunts.

Bee Network will most likely mean the end for the remaining Bluebird vehicles in Greater Manchester.

I am sure you are right - time is indeed catching up with them. The three Enviro300s that went up to Scotland are for disposal there as well. But it is still good to see the last few, and the ex-JPT ones, having a last hurrah

Why did they bother? They're 16yrs old now so surely coming up for withdrawal fairly soon?

I can only assume that they're Euro6 so may last a a bit longer, pending newer vehicles replacing them at some point?

19483 at Sharston is the first to be repainted into Bee Network livery at that garage, and is the thrid standard Enviro400 done after 19481 and 19256 .

SKM are reporting that 36073 is actually being transferred to Stagecoach SE - there is life in the old bus yet.
