As for the "shuttles". AFAIK, the Solos normally work a Shuttle service from Trafford General to MRI, which will probably now increase as there is a news item about the NHS's first Hospital being further downgraded! I don't know if this is for medical staff only, or whether Hospital visitors can use it. The Belle Vue service is a Park n Ride service, which when I've seen it is normally worked by YN05 GZX/Z and/or coaches. I'm not actually sure how this works - other than it being for motorists and their passengers only - as the only publicity I have seen for it inside MRI suggests it only runs between about 1000 & 1500. However, I have seen coaches especially running at rush hour. As any regular Hospital outpatient will tell you, a sub 5 hour service is pretty useless anyway in this day and age, so it could be that the publicity I saw (a small poster in the Eye Hospital) is very, very old!

One of the Omnicities was involved in an rtc earlier in the year, sustaining some heavy front damage. Ive not noted it back out yeit. Coaches (usually with a destination display- ex finglands or nat.exp) have been substituting. Bullocks have picked up some more private school services requiring coaches with destination displays, so the new bus has probably been brought in to free up the coaches.
