Interesting. So Hyde Road are starting to take the 59 reg 192's now are they? Getting ready for the big hybrid launch.

There's at least one MAN in Charles Street depot-hard to see but could have been 22146. Also there were 33092 and 13995

Presumably this means none of them will be seen on the road again. 22146 obviously not good enough to be transferred then.

I'll get that mentioned - what service, so I can direct it to the right depot manager?

Nicholas it was the 216 on both occasions, not too sure on an exact time for the first one as I was waiting for a 236, and noticed it at the same block of stands so would have been between 13.00 and 14.00, the second one was at 18.20 as I was waiting for it.

Transferred to where? Plenty of other MAN's have spent periods there in the past 18 months and have since been transferred.Also I am by no means sure that it was 22146 as it was right down the far end and very difficult to identify.

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant was, whichever one it was, it's gone there instead of being transferred. A good few of the MAN's have gone to Carlisle, whilst others have gone to disposal once they have been withdrawn.
I suppose it might still be transferred if it can be revived, but the vast majority of buses that go to Charles Street usually end up at the scrap yard.

It's back on the 192 today. It was at the Hazel Grove terminus about 11 am

Which MAN's have gone from Charles Street to the scrapyard? None that I am aware of.

22123, 22162, 22170, 22171, 22175, 22176 and 22177 I believe. Also Olympians 16749, 16750 and 16761 met their fate there.

But presumably all the MANs had suffered some kind of accident or fire damage or similar?

22123 is with Stagecoach Yorkshire, 22162 with Stagecoach East Midlands, 22171 with Stagecoach Fife. The other 4 I can't find any information about.
