There are plenty of photos of it in service under Stagecoach ownership on Flickr - from memory, most photos that I've seen are of it on the 112.

Thanks

Middleton Depot 16949 (V221LGC) is still very much in daily service although you won't see it in Manchester during the week as its still on free Salford University Shuttle service, I only saw it myself last week while I was on a X34 heading up Salford Crescent

Well it happened in Oldham several months ago, carn't remember the name of the school (might be the Blessed John something ) but First insisted on running one of the early morning school services off another school run and it was always getting to the school late, apparently despite several warnings from the school and several promises from First it continued so the school cancelled the service with First on the Friday and by the Monday it was being run by Stotts.

So it can happen!

That'll be why I haven't seen it then. I'm usually only in Manchester during the week so it wouldn't be there then. I have occasionally been down Salford Crescent on a Saturday, but again out of hours for the Shuttle Service. One day our paths may cross

I think the bus was on the 80 this evening.

So they've started to move them now. Amazing what a few Arrow breakdowns can do.

Anybody know from which depot they've moved from?
Also the plans for London tridents coming up here are still on as far as I'm aware but we will be gaining new tridents! C:
