22393 is on the 216 at the moment, but I was under the impression ST were no longer running two boards on the 216 from the 27th Jan.

Unless 22393 is on loan to AZ.

no stockport had there 2 boards extended until the opening week of metrolink (11/2/13) where they should then be taken off , well according to the ashton inspector on monday when i asked him about them

That would explain it.
Thanks James.

A bit of a surprise today to see a Enviro400 (19262) on the 183 in Oldham town centre this afternoon.

Some very strange allocations from AZ today. I noticed Enviro400's on the 346, 347 and also the 217, yet the 231 had no less than 2 Enviro200's on it. Quite surprising given that the 231 often has a full lower saloon by the time it reaches Droylsden so quite strange given that d/deckers were freely available for everything else.

No. I think it's fair to say they are permanent transfers. 19261 and 19262 have been at Ashton for a few months now. 19289 and 19291 will have joined in the wake of the arrival of the 192 hybrids. Other numbers around those have gone to Sharston for the same reason.

I went on 19288 in Stockport yesterday and have seen 19262 for one on Stockport route in the past few days

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
19288 is still at Stockport, but 19290, 19292, 19293 and 19294 have moved to Sharston.

19262 seems to be a bit of a wonderer. I went on it on the 330 a few months ago, and have seen it on Ashton routes since. Strange that it's now reappeared at Stockport. Unless it was on a 330 departing from there.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Nothing is happening to the wigan fleet until the OFT have made their decision on the 25th feb.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
I reckon that the OfT won't do anything, purely because they have near enough no routes in the area and that the sale of Wigan was fairly done.
