Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
Well that's 2 buses Stagecoach Manchester have off the road now as Middleton based Enviro400 19409 was involved in a nasty incident in Harpurhey last night after it was involved in a colision with a car of which the driver of the car fled after being released from the damaged car.

I wonder whether anything from Ferryhill Motors will replace it while its off the road being fixed

If so, Stagecoach (and if appropriate, GMP) would not be happy about pictures being posted subsequently. Indeed, if it is a write off, then they will probably have removed fleet names, numbers and registration plates by now.

That looks a bit unrepairable

I know in the short term a Trident could be resurected to cover but I wonder what will replace it at Stockport in the long term, another MMC400 perhaps?

Noted a Magic Bus on the 114 this morning, so that must be the short term replacement.

Obviously the Magicbus Enviro400 is standing in for the damaged Enviro400 at Middleton but I wonder what is replacing the fire damaged Hybrid Enviro400 at Stockport

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
Could anyone estimate the cost of this if it were to be repaired?

19221 and 19227 today. Yesterday had 19393 and 19465. Most depots except for Middleton have a heavily reduced PVR so can cover spare Buses for Middleton, using that opportunity for Middleton to get some of the big jobs done on a few Deckers.
