RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
First's investment in Dukinfield consisted of some awful Streetlites replacing B9TLs two years ago. I doubt this is a direct response to that, more a thing where the buses we do have are much past their best and would be better off down south where they are needed to replace Olympians.

If AZ does get it's 30/31 MMCs, and also gets the 20 MAN engined Enviros like was previewsly suggested, that would replace the vast majority of the double decker allocation unless the single deckers are being moved on, as there is little need for them and they cause problems with overcrowding on most routes they are allocated on at peak times (347's and the Enviro200s, 346's and Solos etc)
