Wouldn't be too surprised to see the newer stock being swapped with the likes of the 58 plates up here as a chance to get arid of their old stuff for a price.
Stockport is due to receive 170 new electric buses later this year.
I think the newer buses will remain with Stagecoach, inside and outside Manchester, but that they may loan or sell the older buses - namely 2008/09 Enviro 400s - to Metroline if they need any initially for services taken over from Stagecoach Manchester.
