Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
It seems at the moment the following ex London Tridents are now allocated/loaned to Middleton Depot:

17240,17242 & 17244

Also it seems another transfer is of 17612 from Ashton to Hyde Road Depot not sure if this has been reported though.

Other news is that tonights 17:25 205 Piccadilly-Dane Bank was operated with one of HE's T reg MAN's in leu of the usual Enviro 400 which I can only guess was running late due to the roadworks at Denton Island.

Also probably due to roadworks was that a couple of 15s last night were operated using HE's remaining ALX400 Trident Magicbuses

I'm wondering if these two MANs have replaced the three older ones at AZ. I've not seen any of the S/T reg ones at all this week, 22102 was the last one I saw in service on the 216 on Saturday.

Makes sense to have replaced the older MANs, 22093 and 22094 could be joining too.
22102 still in service, probably still covering for 22055 which is off road with a fault at the depot.

That sounds generous; 3 spare.

exactly what it says stockport based bus with 5+staff onboard comes from sheldon way and returns back the same way so i come to the above conclusion

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
I'm surprised nothing was mentioned on here about the additional problems to the 201/203 during last nights rush hour due to an overturned wagon on Lancashire Hill of all places, how it happened nobody knows as Lancashire Hill roundabout isn't normally a place that you would find an overturned wagon

well the 7 is the only route using sheldon way, the bus was a st bus not a trainer but yeah it would have been trained on all st routes prob during the day
