8 busses from Sharston have temporarily moved to Hyde Road to assist with Metrolink Cover - Of these 5 are 192** busses. I would hazard a guess that these 5 *may* stay a little longer and repainted for the next batch of Magics.
Not sure if its been reported but Wigan's 10031 is another one currently at Hyde Road helping out on Metrolink Replacements.
With the recent service reductions on 32 I'm guessing its currently surplus to requirements at the moment else they wouldn't have let it go
There was 19629 on Metrolinks yesterday and 38's had awful bunching problems including the filthy 19506 i've never seen such a filthy bus in service from Stagecoach Manchester.
As for 19629 being on Metrolink Replacement over the weekend then this is nothing unusual as these are regulars on Metrolink Replacement and are even the favoured vehicle on the Piccadilly-Central Park shuttles from what I've seen in the past, not often I've seen one on the Crumpsall-Piccadilly route though
M60LAD 19629 was the only one of the batch on the service on Saturday i watched from 5-5:30pm
Had a ride on 10049 on the X57 about 3 hours ago.
22186 is the last of the T reg MAN's in Service at Middleton and i think the last of all of Manchester!

What's the situation regarding the X reg examples. I was told the plan was to start withdrawing them but one has recently turned up at AZ and seems in pretty good condition.
