Last 2 weeks Ashton have used 47619 on 342/344 but today it was 36425. I also haven't seen the Enviro 300s out for a while. 346 route is pretty much only enviro 200s now Ashton have 36429 and 30 and the Solos can be used on 342/344

27827 returned to Wigan a few months ago, but officially at least, 27825/6 are still at Ashton. AZ also retain 47618/9.

SKM report all the remaining MAN/ALX;, Scania/EL 28506/7 & Primos have been disposed of to PVS........at long last. This just leaves Tridents 17612, 18148, 18290 and early Enviro300 27501 for disposal along with most trainer B10Ms.

The latest movements were reported on Facebook today and confirmed renaming Mans, Primos and the scanias have been disposed of but have they actually 'gone' yet??

Also is there any plans to preserve 17612??

Only 27826 is active at Ashton depot, the other Enviro300 (27825) is having an engine rebuild

The majority of the MANs have left for scrap, Primos are due to follow soon. As for 28506 and 28507 they are still at Wigan/AZ respectively
17612 is indeed going for preservation in the near future

Several of the former First Metro shuttle hybrids have turned up at Hyde road and look to be being prepped for repaint - presumably into normal tfgm hybrid livery.
