A bit of a surprise today to see a Enviro400 (19262) on the 183 in Oldham town centre this afternoon.

Some very strange allocations from AZ today. I noticed Enviro400's on the 346, 347 and also the 217, yet the 231 had no less than 2 Enviro200's on it. Quite surprising given that the 231 often has a full lower saloon by the time it reaches Droylsden so quite strange given that d/deckers were freely available for everything else.
Seen a few more Enviro400's out lately being 19261, 19262, 19289 and 19291.
are these loans

No. I think it's fair to say they are permanent transfers. 19261 and 19262 have been at Ashton for a few months now. 19289 and 19291 will have joined in the wake of the arrival of the 192 hybrids. Other numbers around those have gone to Sharston for the same reason.

I went on 19288 in Stockport yesterday and have seen 19262 for one on Stockport route in the past few days
19288 is still at Stockport, but 19290, 19292, 19293 and 19294 have moved to Sharston.
19262 seems to be a bit of a wonderer. I went on it on the 330 a few months ago, and have seen it on Ashton routes since. Strange that it's now reappeared at Stockport. Unless it was on a 330 departing from there.
May I ask how many enviro400 will allocation to wigan and what fleetnumber to wigan for replace Gemini B9TL to Lincoln?
What gonna happen to Eclipse repaint? When?
Thank you
Martyn
Nothing is happening to the wigan fleet until the OFT have made their decision on the 25th feb.
I reckon that the OfT won't do anything, purely because they have near enough no routes in the area and that the sale of Wigan was fairly done.
