So with the exception of the two Olympians (possibly more in the near future), if the B9's are returned to Oldham Dukinfield could become virtually all single decker operated, not good for services like the 348/350 at peak.

There seems to be a lot of critissum of management at the moment. It's been suggested on another forum that painters have been poised to paint two B9's at Dukinfield into heritage liveries but that certain pen pushers have objected - presumably because their wanted back at OM so the plans are on hold.

The painter at BN had hinted that the still to arrive 42942/3 from Camborne were the heritage buses for pioneer with drawings for said buses already drawn up, but due to the issues that pioneer management have this was on hold. Basically due to pioneer management not wanting to darts in heritage liveries.
