Thought so.
It seems strange that the S reg MANs are making a comeback to Ashton. Not sure if its just me but there seems to be a few more than 5 at AZ now.

The Plaxton Dart was out on 346's today along with a MAN, and the 347 also had a MAN allocated this afternoon.

Who cares what bus it was, it was still such a bad thing to have happened. Only the investigation will tell us what actually happened, like if there was an issue with the vehicle.

Such a shame for the Stagecoach in Wigan family to have lost someone.

I never said i cared what vehicle it was but i do know its fleet number! Out of respect for my workmate and my friends in engineering i obviously will not add anything to this story but i felt it unfair adl was being bad mouthed when it could quite easily have been another make of bus!

And i can truely say ive never seen a depot mourn a driver like wigan have with dm death! Passengers have even given money to the collection for the drivers family!
