Cheerio,

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Does anybody know what Arrows are still in service at Wigan? I've seen R426SOY, R432ULE, R434ULE, R438ULE and R446ULE recently, but I've seen nothing of P403PLE, P413MTW, P423PVW and R430ULE recently. Are those four withdrawn now?

Typical! Withdrawing all of the good stuff and keeping the crap stuff going. R446ULE is absolutely awful - no kick-down and a knackered turbo result in speeds which are even poor for economical driving standards! S652RNA was great too. Oh well.

Another double decker on the 183 this afternoon, this time a Trident ALX400

That would be 17612 as 17670 was on 236 this morning.
Adding to that another Stockport Enviro400 19258 appeared on the 236.

I knew some routes were set to go D/D on the arrival of the 192 hybrids at Stockport, as some of the Stockport D/D's were set to be transferred to Ashton, but I am rather surprised the 183 has turned out to be one of them. I presume all the T reg MAN's have now gone to Charles Street then?

AZ Enviro400 19016 recently been repainted. 19004/5/17/53/19111 not been seen in 2 weeks, probably explains why 08 Enviro400s have been at ashton

There was only 1 bus visible in Charles St this afternoon and that was 20938. I also saw 22183 going into Hyde Rd last week.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
In addition to 20938, 16087 22136/8 22145-7/58, 33084/91-2, 34054/7/80/81, 34114/6 should also be at Charles St.

Bearing in mind this info is from the P10 fleetcard I would expect there to be more vehicles there now.
