Possibility that 19248, 19249, 19250 19251 and 19273 all may have transferred from Hyde Rd to Ashton. And also noticed that AZ are running 1 journey to every 2/3 219 journeys covered by Hyde Rd in the daytime. |

For what ever reason, stagecoach appears to be carrying out repairs to the JPT vehicles! I would be very very surprised, if apart from the two Enviro300's, the two Trident's, and the six primo's, if any other buses from the JPT fleet were to enter service with Stagecoach. |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Allocation of one bus on the 118 today shows how much has changed in 18 months, as Stagecoach operated the former JPT service 118 with a ex-Bluebird MCV Evolution bus. |

I agree with you, but can't see the primos lasting too long either.

It would appear that some of the Leyland Olympians are back at Middleton ready for service, presumably allowing the loanees back to their native depots. |

When you say the Leyland Olympians are back at Middleton are you referring to the 3 former Magic Bus Olympians or the 2 ex JPT Leyland Olympians? I really hope its not the Leyland examples, It would be a real step backwards having vehicles as old as that working for Stagecoach. As far as I know the Volvo Olympians have been working schools in the Oldham area this week from Middleton depot. |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
I meant what I said - the ex-Stephensons Leylands that JPT owned. A backwards step it may seem, but I suspect its only until the B7TLs are made fit for service. |
