RE: Stagecoach Manchester
This is true, I saw over 10 buses parked out back yesterday due to lack of space |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Buses have always been parked in the rear yard at HE so that's nothing new but potentially other services HE currently operate could go to other depots. AZ are doing ok on the 219 and it certainly improves things doing driver changeovers at one end rather than mid route with a bus full of punters so possibly all 219 journeys could go to AZ, would be good to see some Hybrids move too to operate them but I carnt see HE giving them up that easily. 76/78's could go to Middleton too. Mere speculation I suspect at the moment though. |

So a few repaints then, and they're free to dispose of the wrecks? |

Free to do as they please with it now. Most of the stuff will be making a one way trip to Barnsley. |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
I'd like to see the Olympians go to preservation - the B10L didn't seem too bad when I saw it, the B7TLs might go to the Magic Bus fleet, and the Enviro300s, after a lot of work, should be fit for service. As for the others, S3JPT - the Dart with a mountain of duct tape - that'll definitely go, and maybe some more. |

Anyone any ideas about what might happen to the Primo's. They have always struck me as odd little buses - a bit like a loaf on wheels. Would they fit anywhere else in Stagecoach's operations in Manchester? |

Apparently only 2 or 3 Presidents (carnt remember which) will be retained and will go to Sharston to become magic buses. Everything else will go fairly soon, infact I'm informed one of the H reg Olympians that's been in use since the takeover has in the last few days been moved to Wigan to join the other vehicles awaiting thier fate. |
