Another interesting point about the 192 hybrids, what will happen with Hyde Road's share of the route? Will they use hybrids as well, or will they continue to use the 08/58/09 reg Enviro400's?

Well, I hope Stockport get all of the 192 share and all of the hybrids, otherwise it would be logical that Hyde Road Depot get a few hybrids if they keep their share of the route.

If 40 Hybrids are due to arrive are they all for the 192 and how would 40 be like spread out?

They would presumably be the same as the existing buses, spread out, i.e. the 20 59 reg's, around 10 58/09 reg's and 10 or more 08 reg's.
The fact there's more than 40 buses to replace in Stockport probably indicates that some Enviro400's will continue on the route, even from Stockport. Depending on how 'green' the route has to go in order to meet QBP rules, that's where Hyde Road's share gets interesting. It could be that some of the hybrids move there, but then there'll be gaps in Stockport's route. 'Hole in my bucket' comes to mind, lol
