Out of interest how many buses, does Wigan have on Runshaw nowadays ?, only I heard that upto another 5 Enviro400's could be heading to Wigan. |

Believe that when I see it. Not exactly Stagecoach's fault First left the Olys and Arrows in such a state. As far as I know things are still on for ex-London Tridents in summer. |

I noticed this in Glossop one afternoon last week doing the Carpenters workservice and to be honest had to double take. I do actually like it and think it looks a lot smarter than the ones with the white swoops at the front. |

Well although This rule of no first liveried buses on lates maybe true. S654RNA was still on 628 lates at 10pm the other night so cant see it being to true. Bring Back Arriva Skelmersdale |

Painting the buses in the livery the wrong way round (if that made sense) |

That maybe ture, but stagecoach has had 5-months in which to sort the problems out with the ex first vehicles. The biggest mistake todate is allowing the Gemini's to go to scotland. |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
i cant see a college telling a company not to run a bus for them as it will just cause problems for students getting to and from college, i think someones pulling your leg mate For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly!

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
A college will tell a company not to run a bus for them if the service they provide is unreliable whether it be from breakdowns or something else. Therefore, when this occurs and it doesnt get sorted out they will then get another company to provide the service. Common sense really isnt it. |
