As it seems the Police car was at fault it will most likely be an insurance job so 9 times out of 10 will get sent away, even minor damage can get sent out if someone else is paying!
ADL at Sheffield has been the go-to place for major accidents since Stagecoach stopped using Ferrymill.
I didn't realise Stagecoach had stopped using Ferrymill, considering Ferrymill used to loan/hire vehicles when one was sent for repair do ADL at Sheffield do similar or will a vehicle be found within Stagecoach's fleet to replace it short-term?
a stagecoach bus was in collision with a building in westhoughton today
https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/...e-24199829
There's a video on facebook which shows the bus overtaking traffic waiting at traffic lights before hitting a car head on and ploughing into a building.
Thoughts with the driver tonight hoping they make a full recovery
There's a better picture on Twitter that shows the front of the bus:

As can be seen the front of the bus is quite badly damaged and I'm not to sure whether it's fixable to be honest especially considering the front upper-deck offside needs a complete rebuild.
Just unfortunate for Stagecoach Manchester as this is about 3rd vehicle that they've had involved an RTC in as many weeks.
Recent vehicles returned from the paintshop in the latest version of corporate livery are Hybrid 12219, and Standard Enviro400's 19414, 19562/3.
Ashton based 19275 demolished a bus stop in Piccadilly last night while on the 230 service to Ashton via Droylsden. Unfortunately one person has been killed, and two others injured, one of them seriously.
It finally got moved at about 04:20 yesterday morning and was apparently towed to Mansfield Recovery at Trafford Park according to the tracker.
Not to sure how long it will be before the shelter gets replaced although with the weather at the moment a shelter isn't actually needed.

If it has been cancelled, that should be the whole service. Unless they are about to reregister the routes. If it was just the funding being removed, it would be a variation. These look like outright cancelled, not to return. In which case, some interesting ones here like the Wigan 1/2 and Ashton 237. The other ones which are commercial have been kind of killed off a little bit over time anyway with various changes and slowing them down. Guess the lower patronage has just killed them. Likely also a bit of Stagecoach throwing their toys out of the pram over franchising so trying to make TFGM suffer as much as possible.
I beg to differ as some of these routes that are listed are operated by other operators during the week for example so the full service can't be cancelled.
81 Monday-Sunday Daytime (First Manchester) Evenings (Stagecoach)
103 Mon-Sun daytime service is commercially operated by Stagecoach with evening service tendered by TfGM
237 I know full well evening/Sunday's are tendered as various operators including MCT and Maynes in the past have operated the route.
343 Mon-Sat Daytime (Stotts) Sunday Daytime (Stagecoach) No evening service
415 Mon-Sat (Go Northwest) Sunday (Stagecoach)
635 Mon-Sat dayime only runs as far as Apperley Bridge (Diamond) Evening and Sundays extends to Wrightington Hospital (Stagecoach)
