This would allow two older ones (presumably 36109/10) to transfer to Middleton. What's interesting is that, with at least three ex East MANs and three repainted Tridents still to be allocated, MN seem to have been over compensated for the loss of their last X-reg MANs. I wonder if the three MANs will go to Ashton instead

A few extra MANs at AZ wouldn't be surprising as there a lot more universal than the Enviro200's espically at peak!

What I'm surprised at is the decision to withdraw the Evolutions. I'm told that since thier rejection from down south, they have obviously had bits and peices done up here but despite suggestions they were unreliable and a waste of time I don't think I've seen any broken down or 'recieving attention' while at AZ so I wonder why their being withdrawn and if this will be thier final outing for Manchester?

Then there's 28506/7 which have apparently been worked on when times allowed over the last few months. I'm sure I was told that both have been MOT'd yet no sign of them leaving the depot.
