Not sure which one but one of Bury Depots Scanias bendies is currently parked up in West Pennine Trucks Scania at Trafford Park, while one of Queens Roads Hybrid B5s and one of Boltons 582 branded B7s are at Thomas Hardies Trafford Park
Atleast 2 Hybrids on the 81 today and 10017 seen on the 135 which seems a regular sighting for me i always seem to catch 10017 when i'm supping cider in microbar
I think the hybrids on the 81 would be operating on the short journeys between Manchester and White Moss, which would be operated by Queens Road depot.
Which is even more interesting as I'm sure that most if not all Queens Road journies on 81 are interworked with 88s or used to be until the recent timetable change so this would have seen the Hybrids on there as well
I have seen a hybrid on the 88 one or two years ago, so its not completely unheard of.

I saw a Streetlite arrive into Piccadilly Gardens from Church Street with '88 North Manchester General Hospital' already displayed, so I imagine that this bus arrived into Manchester as an 81 from White Moss.
I was in my usual pub Microbar in the Arndale and i saw 2 81's in a row on Wednesday afternoon both worked by the b5's
