Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Just to confirm, the two older Tridents are still at AZ. One is currently out on 236's. So looks like 17180 is an additional loan.

As for 28506/7. I don't think I've seen them since before Christmas thinking about it. They were only really used 'in service' on the 217/218 and that's increasingly becoming d/d operated.
I wouldn't be surprised if they turn up in Wigan!

Not sure whether this was to do with the delays around Sale earlier on, but noticed a Magic Bus leaving Piccadilly Gardens operating the X41 to Altrincham this afternoon.

They're probably at Charles Street I would guess at the moment. I suppose Wigan is a possibility, though I think they are hoping to move on to better things than 2 clapped out 53 reg Ex-Mayne darts

Ive always found it strange Stagecoach hung onto these two oddities for so long. There absolutely horrid buses.

Well, after months of speculation and anticipation, it seems the first of the hybrids will hit the road today. Welcome to a new era for the 192

Thats interesting, considering that you are one of two people. That told me that there NO Enviro400's at Wigan, and that there were NO plans for any to be allocated to Wigan.
