Despite Hyde Road sending at least four - a reliable source quotes 10 - Enviro400s to the CG over the weekend, there has also been a report of one working the 370. Of course, it is Summer hols t/ts, but I believe HE's PVR doesn't reduce by anything like 10 (MagicBuses not included), and for the umpteenth consecutive Summer, they've fallen into the trap of registering reduced running times on Hyde Road corridor, just as the Highways Agency announce major roadworks! Denton Island this year, Belle Vue inbound last year etc. etc.

In this case, I can only assume a Middleton bus broke down in M'cr, and 19516 was grabbed just before the driver was going to take it back to depot at the end of its day's work.

I've just seen 12112 on the 78 as well so Hyde Road must be running it completely tonight a hybrid was on the 76 today which may have also been 12112 so both 19516 and 12112 may have cone off the 76 and been allocated to the 78 unless the 78 has completely transferred, its weird that deckers were allocated as 7 people at the most use the 78.
