Well the older tridents from Stockport were supposed to be going to Wigan, unless that has now changed. I doubt if any others will leave just yet. The oldest on Magic is T reg, so only 14 years old. At least another year before they start to disappear.
As for new orders, I honestly don't know. Stockport has just had 40 new hybrids, to add to an already modern fleet, where not a single Enviro is older than 08 reg. If any new ones do come they'll either go to Ashton, or possibly on the 50 route. I can't see large numbers coming but there may be a few. I'm thinking maybe 12 for the 50, with the existing 09's going to Ashton to replace the East Midlands bound 06/56 reg's.
