Also Ashton depot are route learning the 7 (Ashton to Stockport) and will operate this soon (I assume when service changes happen). This means that Ashton depot will probably get some transferred buses for this.
Is the 7 still operated with Enviro200's or is something bigger used these days?
As a rule of thumb it seems Mon-Fri 7 is mainly operated by Enviro200s with the odd decker making an apperance, whereas on Saturdays its the opposite way round with deckers and the odd Enviro200.
Would anyone happen to know the identity of the London Red trident in the back of Hyde Road?

Steven Knight reports it as 17860 (LX03NFE). Possibly for conversion to a training bus ?

There is a suggestion on Facebook that it is for donation to a school.
I have seen a few X30s. These have tended to be Enviro 200 on Mon-Fri but Enviro 400 on Saturdays. Not sure about Sundays but I reckon Enviro 400s.
I think anything goes regarding X30s, I've even seen an MMC200 on there recently.

Many thanks for that, It totally flew over my head to check his site lol!
I have seen 3 Enviro200s on route 11 today, one of which was an MMC. So it seems to be just Mon-Sat when it is mainly double-deck, not Sundays. It is the converse on route 25, being mainly Enviro200 on Mon-Sat but Enviro400-MMC on Sundays.
Just seen 10464 on an unusual 42b part route - Manchester to Cheadle Hulme, Albert road.
