Northern rail replacement buses on Sunday

RE: Northern rail replacement buses on Sunday
I have seen S-Line coaches operating on scheduled replacements due to engineering works, with a coordinator sat upfront with the driver. I'm not sure if they'd have the coordinator for a last minute replacement.

I did hear a report about Atlantic being asked for do a rail replacement one day, pulling into the wrong stand at Altrincham Interchange and then attempting to drive off before the passengers could walk down and board, only for a TfGM person to stop the driver from leaving. I do recall them doing a lot of Manchester-Bolton replacements during weekend engineering works. They were using deckers they acquired from Nottingham City Transport - some just had the word Nottingham removed and the legal details changed.
