RE: Stagecoach Manchester
As well as painting the Volvo's will Stagecoach be changing the interiors?

The B7RLE and B9TL (wow keep nearly calling them BLT's) would look good in Stagecoach colours, however the interiors are clearly very notieablely First's. Surely though it would be too costly?

I thought First would have shipped out the Volvo's and swapped them for older vehicles, or would that have broken the terms of the deal?

I was round Wigan on Friday and noticed leaflets containing this info in good supply on most of the Stagecoach vehicles travelled on.

The interiors will be changed also, all in good time. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Once the deal had been done First couldn't go changing the vehicles involved as they were part of the deal and the price would reflect this. If Stagecoach were expecting a number of 07 reg vehicles, they wouldn't expect a load of old bangers to turn up instead.

Would that be 12182 and 12184? I'll be looking for them and travelling on them myself. My aim is to be the first person to travel on all 40 new hybrids. The challenge starts here
