I saw that post just after I saw the conformation that GNW were taking over the withdrawn commercial Diamond routes.

Although I did note the registration numbers of the 4 B7s reported to be transferring and think they must be being used on some of the Queens Road commercial services, with vehicles currently on those routes being cascaded onto the 163 and the other ex-diamond routes. The new routes will be tendered and the 4 GNE B7s are too old for TfGM's 15 year tender limit.
