When you passed through Stockport, did you notice that 20982 was still parked up in the compound between the depot and the bus station - despite it being reported as "sold". Wonder if 20983 has been sold instead.

Yes, I have looked and seen 20982 in the yard by Stockport bus station & garage earlier this week.

I look forward to seeing them and potentially riding them soon.

I wonder whether these early Enviro400-MMCs at HE were behind a shock I experienced this morning. You know how I have often found the Saturday 08.32 197 from Albert Square to Stockport to be worked by a Trident recently? Well, today it was a 63-reg Enviro400-MMC! This route does seem to see more 63-reg than 12-reg Enviro400-MMCs these days.
