I presume all the T reg MAN's have now gone to Charles Street then?

There was still a couple of MANs knocking about at AZ last week. I spotted MANs on the 217/218, 346 and also the 345.
Seems strange that AZ were using a decker on the 183 as the V reg Dart seems to do nothing but taxi duties.

Strange as well, as the 183 doesn't get big loads of passengers on the route. A few passengers on board between Limeside and Oldham (mainly as alternative to the 76) but hardly used between Oldham and the hospital too. MAN was on the route yesterday but was back to the Enviro400 today with 19100 on the route.
