RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
I received an email from Stagecoach Manchester to say they are going exact fare or contactless only from Monday.

Other operators including Arriva have decided this too.

I saw 11505 on route 42a yesterday. This is the first 20-reg bus I have seen in the metal anywhere.

It is part of the batch 11504-55 due for routes 192 & 197 (according to Buses magazine and perhaps already highlighted here). Route 42a is run by Stockport rather than Hyde Road on Sundays.

Thanks. I assumed that they would be as probably first new stock in updated livery (excluding EV buses).

11508 is in service today on the 192 which indicates more than 3 are now here obviously. It is tracking on Bus Times as 18358.

Another Enviro400 Hybrid suffered an engine fire yesterday outside ASDA Eastlands.
From the photos posted on a local group it looks like 12019.
Not sure how bad the fire was but the fire brigade were in attendance.
