Yesterday (Saturday) being no exception. I'm assuming stagecoach were doing either rail or Metrolink replacement work as most daytime workings yesterday were worked by the dual door Magic Tridents complete with 141 branding.
Why they carnt use the Tridents on thier replacement work I don't know.

Spotted FM36 operating on the 169 heading out of Ashton yesterday (captured here on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/70966383@N03/16255070125). Had to do a double-take as I didn't realise it was a Stagecoach vehicle. Looking on Flickr, there was a 38-branded Enviro400 (19496) https://www.flickr.com/photos/70966383@N...otostream/ on the 168/169 route too.

I think Stagecoach was doing Metrolink replacement work yesterday, as I saw Oldham/Rochdale trams terminating at Central Park and East Didsbury trams running to Piccadilly station.
