I think it was suggested when they first moved to Deepdale that they could potentially be used if needed as the issue with them at Atherton was that TFGM/Trafford Centre wernt happy with them using the centre door ramp in thier bus stations as it posed a safety risk but perhaps things are different at Preston.

Have any been converted yet? Be interesting to see if they end up staying at Deepdale or go back to Atherton once converted.

Not so sure about services 6\6a to red scar,6 buses an hour could be stepping on stagecoach,s toes.maybe stagecoach should register on the orbit,they have a knack of making things work.after all they came to the rescue when fishwicks wrapped up.
