RE: Stagecoach Manchester
I don't think that there strictly classed as Magicbuses though anymore as they very rarely if ever see service on Magicbus routes as there mainly used on various Middleton Depot routes (usually 77,80 or 112) and has already been mentioned Oldham Academy North School Services

Which Enviro400's are you referring to? The ones at Bolton depot are 4 speed Voith.

I saw 19364 in Bury interchange around 1430 today, out of service. It stopped next to a Rosso bus at stand G before leaving the bus station, not sure what it was doing there.

Saw that same Enviro400 not in service travelling through Ancoats about 3:35 this afternoon, probably heading back to depot

With all the deckers being released by the Hybrids would have thought a handful could have gone to update Middleton and replace Magic buses and the 'red' one!

What 'red' vehicle are you referring to? I have not yet seen any that are painted other than Stagecoach and Magicbus.

I'll have to look out for it. I've noticed on the fleet list that Middleton depot have more vehicles from bluebird hidden away that would seem to be useable e.g. KK07 BLU (Plaxton/VDL SB120), MJ53 BLU (East Lancs/MAN 14.220) and a load of darts.

I think they use KK07 BLU as it appeared on the 78 back in December and it has been on the 112.
