From the passengers point of view I know what I'd prefer!

at a guess 20982 was used because the bus is already on the m60 coming back from bluecoats and could well have been quicker getting to the breakdown than waiting for another driver to take a bus from the depot. tfgm will allow non contracted vehicles on routes if service has brokendown but needs to be replaced asap so 982 could do x5 to traff ctr then back to sk then swap for a normal bus at stockport rather than drop the circuit
