Yes I got told both the ex JPT B7's were moving up to Scotland in January hence why no Manchester vinyls were applied under the Stagecoach logo.
It was stressed to me though that the red one would be staying at Middleton. They've had plenty of opertunitys to get rid of the red B7 and replace it with a standard trident - the last few months being no exception with all the ex London stock at Wigan, one of them tridents would have been perfect, so I carnt see it gojng anywhere yet.

I find the decision to send the ex JPT B7's interesting, if true, as you would think priority would be replacing the elderly blue Olympians with somthing younger and low floor. I suppose though if they do go in the new year there's also the possibility of the primos moving on too
