Hyde Road's 19365 (MX08UDU) has moved to Wigan. Saw it in Piccadilly waiting at the 32 stop with the service number switched off and 'Stagecoach in Wigan' showing as the destination. About 7.00pm last night.

Why the hell is 47559 breaking down soo much then, after all its only an 08 plate solo so just about nearing 6yrs old by now. Optares are usually very reliable, arriva NW have got a few that are around 2007 build if memory serves correctly & they're doing fine, have stagecoach gotten a dodgy batch of em maybe???

I don't think the red of that batch at ST perform that badly. 47559 has spent most of its life working the same Glossop route until last year could it be the wear and tear of the Glossop hills maybe??

Even so it's apparently had a full overhaul in recent months hence it's disappearance, and the very week it comes back into use it breaks down again.

Noticed that the hybrids were out on the 256 this afternoon. Didn't get chance to see fleetnumbers but it seemed like there were a few out today.
