Not quite but as Jonsey3001 has said every Manchester and Wigan destination will be on every Manchester vehicle so an Ashton Enviro400 will have say Middleton depot destinations on so it makes it easier if a vehicle is transferred to another depot within the group or if it's needed to cover a journey ect. |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
It seems a number of 56 reg's from Ashton are on the move to Stockport. 19082,19084 and 19086 have already been reported there with more to follow. I think they may be replacing the Tridents. |

I have received notification, that one of the spectras has received Magic Bus livery, as a replacement for the ex Mayne Trident (18288), which was wrote-off last month. Can anybody confirm this, please ? |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
According the Oldham Advertiser, Limeside Road will be closed due to refurbishment of speedhumps, meaning that the 76 will have to be diverted. Does anyone know what the diversion will be as I think it could be down Elm Road turn around at the bottom of Lime Green road and down Hollins Road to Mersey Road North to rejoin Roman Road and the reverse going back towards Oldham. |

Has 18288 defiantly been written off then?? I know there has been uncertanty over its future since the crash but I didn't think the damage was that bad. |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Apparently both Spectra's are now in Magicbus livery from what I got told from a contact of mine earlier. Also the 3 Olympians at Middleton Depot have been repainted blue with Stagecoach names/transfers on them and are set to go into storage at Charles Street with Tridents replacing them on Schools and Football duties and 2 Enviro 400s replacing the Tridents on normal services |
