Limited half-hourly service will operate on service 41 and 42 (East Didsbury-Manchester) on Monday as Rusholme depot goes on strike again, with 41 running all day and service 42 between 0700 and 1900. Full service will operate on the 53.

hybrid 39208 was on metroshuttle 1 today - possibly connected with metrolink engineering work. I didn't see the actual rail replacement service but just missed a Magicbus DD leaving Shudehill.

I did capture that Metroshuttle 1 on High Street heading for Piccadilly.

Apparantly 39208 replaced the demonstrator Hybrid at Shudehill Bus Station earlier in the day at PTE's request as the Volvo Hybrid isn't normally allocated out on a Sunday and from what I heard there could have been problems charging it so it was swapped with 39208, as to how it ended up on 1 I'm not actually to sure.

RE: First Manchester
If by hybrid you mean the opportunity charged electric bus that was out too.

The Volvo 7900e is scheduled to be out on Sunday and was running it's rounds, I captured it about 5 minute before this, and the 7900e is on Metroshuttle 2, this was on Metroshuttle 1.

I assume it may have been a capacity boost due to the Halloween events happening around the city
