The new Bee Network routes for Stagecoach will require hundreds of buses, hence the very large order for Manchester as a whole.
Likely to be some cascades though, as Stagecoach Manchester are still repainting some buses into the new Stagecoach livery as well as some into Bee Network yellow. If those were staying in Manchester it's unlikely that would happen as they would need repainting again.
