The MAN Enviro200's are also considerably nicer than the integral examples as they can actually change into 2nd gear and have power!
They are awful to be a passenger in, with spectacularly bad legroom in most seats. And I say that as someone who is only 5'7...
The legroom is only bad in the rear row the rest are okay but still not great...

Unlike their larger Enviro300 sisters, they are a mixed bag - they only have a small engine so they've been going through turbos like no tomorrow.
Another Dart SLF back in service at Newcastle is 33483 (R463 SEF).
Further West Scotland MAN Enviro300s now at Slatyford includes:
22527 (SF57 LUO)
22850 (SF09 ADV)
22855 (SF09 AED)
Some unusual workings in Newcastle today, sans the loan vehicles:
E400H 12062 was on the 12 while sister 12083 was on the 1. 1-branded Enviro400 19438 was on the 40.
MAN ALX300 22025 was on the 32/32A/33/35 alongside MAN Enviro200 39722.

None of those are especially unusual, depending on the time of day. There's been an Enviro200 on the 32/32A/33/35 circuit near enough every day for the last few weeks. E400Hs on the 12 are a regular occurance (and indeed are allocated to it in the evenings and on Sundays). An E400H does a weekday morning dupe from Heaton to Newcastle College on service 1. 1 branded Enviro400s regularly stray.

This was all day. The Hybrid was on a normal 1 working, not a dupe.
As for the loan vehicles, West Scotland MAN Enviro300 22586 was on the 6/7 while Yorkshire 22543 was on the X47 (in effect, they are supposed to fill the gap for the Enviro400s on the 10/11, 62/63 and X87/X88).
Indeed, but this is Slatyford we are talking about. They usually manage to put a branded X47 bus an other routes at least once a week!
