I actually caught 10466 this afternoon, and it thinks its a hybrid! About 4 times (in my 20 minute journey) it stalled, but each time the driver was able to restart it immediately. This was the only (HE) MMC I saw today, but my obs covered well over half of Hyde Road corridor workings. None amongst the (few) 15, 38, 250/X50 etc I saw either. In fact, two of the X50s were 19083/98 which is actually quite sensible as I believe these Euro3s are more "pokey" than the Euro4s, so it makes sense to run them where there is oppurtunity to reach 30 mph for long spells.
