If these buses are being routinely allocated to other routes, without 100% Hybrid allocation to 219s then it could be argued Stagecoach are defrauding the tax payer.

It's surly going to be a regular thing though. AZ workings at weekends see more buses interworked on different services, more so on a Sunday but also on a Saturday espically when Man City are playing at home. Having said that, AZ do seem to be short of Diesel Enviro400's as I've seen Enviro200's used on 216's and 231's, there was 2 MANs on daytime 330's yesterday (very rare to see anything other than Enviro400's) and even both the Tridents have been out most of the week on 236/237's.
