In winter the requirement for buses goes down, and I understand a small number of new Enviro400 City are due at Blackpool this year so to get rid of these now would make sense.

I also understand Warrington is to buy another 4 Enviro400 City's will these be new? or will they return to Blackpool Transport for more from the same batch, after all Warrington might make them look new with Private registrations!

I think Blackpool wanted to have vehicles no older than 5 years old once the last of the Tridents & B7RLEs get withdrawn would make sense for Warrington to buy the whole 16 plate batch.
