Also it seems that for some reason Stagecoach Manchester seem to be short of Magicbuses at the moment as this past week I've seen quite a number of Magicbus duties being covered by convention Stagecoach Manchester Enviro 400s

I think it might be because Manchester are due a large batch of tridents from London, which were supposed to have arrived by now, but have been delayed for whatever reason. These were ultimately supposed to see off all the Magic fleet bar 4 buses, due to DDA regulations. It looks like they've made a start in getting rid of the old, but haven't got the replacements as yet.

Does anyone know - Is it still the same decker operating this service as previously or one of the 3 tridents? It was a bit if a wreck!

I think its the same B7 ALX400 operating this service this year as it was out at Manchester Airport the other week taking new Students to the various halls for residences

I don't know what's going on at Stockport depot at the moment, but they seem to be taking back all the old 'bangers' they've previously got rid of.
19338 being one of several Enviro400's, along with 17151 and now would you believe.... 22136!

That'd explain me not seeing 22136 in Wigan for ages
