10045 was taken up by yours truly (and a friend of mine from work).

Interesting (and presuambly late) development at Oldham bus station today.

Saw a MAN standing at the 76 stand but it had 183 on the back. Sign at the stand says Stagecoach to run hourly service, including a couple of peak afternoon journeys.

Also, even though it was heading to Limeside, it had 'Royal Oldham Hospital via town centre' on the front. If it is running to the hospital, I'm guessing this is to remove any waiting time in Oldham bus station .

Edit: just discovered timetable on Stagecoach website.

Still quite a few. Not sure if they'll ever go back to live in Stockport now with the arrival of the tridents. These are presumably a stop gap until Christmas whilst we await the arrival of the hybrids, at which time they'll most likely go Magic.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
There's not that many tridents in Stockport?

Seen 22182 out on the 237 today, presume its yet another loan and trident 17670 out on the 236/7, a mismatch of vehicles.
Also seen 47622 on an early 346 to Hyde, presume it does it to Hyde to efficiently start on the 342/4

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Also seen a MAN out on the 237 night trip too, really mismatched allocations
