If Arriva sold Wythenshawe then their only operation in Manchester would be Bolton, and First wouldn't be able to buy that, but I bet Stagecoach would.

Back to the real world, are the Streetlamps off to Queens Rd once the Enviro's appear at Rusholme?

Un certain, what we know is they were originally for Queens Road before first bought Rusholme, since then they have also and remain heavily linked with the replacement of Bury Depot's problematic citaro fleet. Fellow posters will say the B6s are older yes all true and in reality it looks like QS will win favour, but in the case of Bury Depot, you have an old fleet, with frequent reliability issues, the other depots cannot say that. Bury Depot may be the garage in least favour, but services still need to run, and buses need to operate and be reliable, and thats an issue with the citaros at the moment .
