I suspect, it could be a trade off for a frequency cut (as happened at Middleton with 112/114) with the next lot of service changes (late July?)

Local reports suggest that 10882-8 are due "by November", but will be preceded by 15295-305. Still absolutely no word on 26141-5.

SKM report the delivery of 15306-8, with 15307 pictured; regd YN67 YJP. Looks like they've jumped ahead of Preston's. Similarly, no sign of Merseyside's 10882-8 which were rumoured to be due in "October". Still, nearly 4 weeks to go.........
