358 is generally a mixed bag of deckers & Enviro200s, but the green hybrids do stray onto there at times just like any other Stockport route.

& I don't think Stagecoach operate a schools service in New Mills. One possibility is that it could be ex-stagecoach and with Smiths of Marple? I know in the past they have had ex-stagecoach buses still in the beachball livery.

Think the smiths examples have all been painted white now.

An unusual working from Wigan today has been 10621 SN16 OXC which has been working on 9 Wigan - Leigh - Higher Folds, it was driven back towards Bryn depot from Leigh at around 1940 so presume its spending the night there so maybe it will be used from Wigan again tomorrow. Presume its some sort of loan that has resulted from from one of Wigan's E400MMC's failing on the 34 in Hyde Road's territory.

Involved in an accident with Go North West's newly repainted 39209 BN61 MWG was 10596 SN16 OUM damage looks to be the corner and windscreen, and the side of Go North West 39209, looks like one of the drivers has made a miss-judgement at the junction.

There was two of them on loan for a few days due to vehicle shortages at Wigan, both have since returned to Manchester

Ferrymill Motors Enviro200 FM36 MX14FUP is back at Stagecoach Manchester and is currently running out of Middleton Depot and was out on 415s yesterday, apparently due to Middleton having a number of Solos off the road at the moment with various problems.

Does seem that this bus spends more time on the road that off it as no sooner it goes back its needed by someone else although Stagecoach seem to have it regularly.

It's for 36112 that sustained front end accident damage.

Doesnt seem that Stagecoach Manchester are having much luck at the moment as I've also heard from a reliable source that all the Solos are Middleton Depot (47472 47473 47824 47825) are off the road at the moment with various faults.

Yesterday 415 was operated with 2 Enviro200s

Has the 183 Limeside to Royal Oldham Hospital route has been moved to the Middleton Depot from Ashton or it just a certain journey, as I noticed the the 07:05 from Limeside M-F runs dead after it first run to Middleton to pick the 112 service to Manchester.
