As for what they could replace here well let's talk step. Deckers at BY and arrows across the fleet maybe.?

I would have thought that the Arrows would be staying a bit longer, seeing as many of them are taxed until 2013 now. This happened with many of the O405s, they got taxed until the next year, then got withdrawn at First Manchester, with loads of them then going over to 'Rock Ferry'.

If they are coming then I can see the remaiming Arrows (hopefully!) and Olympians going (except the T reg ones at OM). They've then got to consider the Darts and Excels and it won't be long before some of the earlier B10BLEs will need replacing as some of these are now approcahing 15 years old. Infact the first 60361 (571) will be 15 years in August.

Blimey, I remember that bus being new 15 years old in August I feel seriously old now lol. I think and agree with you, the t reg Olympians at OM as you say leave them out. But the rest of the Olympians and please god get them arrows gone. I think very much that as you say the darts and excels have been cracking buses, but age is creeping up on them. Espically some of the BN Vehicles are bone shakers lol
