Shocked that they haven't got rid of them yet, surely must be on the cards!

Be interesting to see if they are out in service tomorrow.

I would have thought that they'll be out today as I believe one of them is going to be used daily on 183s especially when the schools go back

Noticed two ex Ashton Enviro200's on the 168 this morning both left Ashton pretty full.
Also while in Ashton I noticed at least one MAN still in service. It entered Ashton along Katherine street so presumably on either a 345 or a 347.

Anyone know which depots are operating the evening 231 and 168 ??
