Are there any plans to install fueling facilities at MCT's new Chadderton Base?

Well I suppose it had to happen sometime but tonight one of the MMC200s normally on 392 Macclesfield service was out tonight doing 18:40 217 Manchester-Droylsden Metrolink Stop service, whether this is a regular working or it was covering for something I don't know.

It’s probably the 3rd time it’s happened in Ashton. I know I had ONP on a late Ashton Sunday duty a couple of weeks ago. I was off and was asked to cover for a ducker at very short notice (half an hour). The duty manager used every bargaining tool available and then the words ‘you can take a 19 plate out’ so I did. Prefer the 67 plates to be honest.

They do sneak out on 18’s as well quite a bit.

Seems 1 of the 19 plate enviro 200s is missing today as MX12 DZT is substituting.

Personally I prefer them in the red & white livery meself.

There’s actually 2 missing. YY67HBK and MX12DZC are being used.
YX19ONR is being used on the 217’s.

Also YY67HBL has returned off loan from South Pennine community transport and Enviro MX59NWN has been repainted white and gone on semi permanent loan there - it should be having the latest livery put on while over there similar to the 67 and 19 plates.
