An Enviro400 Hybrid on a late 237 tonight going to Glossop.
Not seen a Hybrid go to Glossop since January this year on a Nightbus trip from Piccadilly

I would have thought given the way AZ services interwork on a Sunday, it was the day most likley to see Hybrids astray from the 219. I wonder what it was like I the hills

I've been informed that Enviro400 hybrids ended were on 216's and 231's today probably due to the derby never the less still a noticeable number of regular diesel Enviro400's on the 219 by all accounts.

Has anyone else noticed that the front destination on 25343 has ended up set like a lot of the ex Bluebird vehicles fitted with LED's, with the number more towards the centre of the display?

Ah, that explains why I have not seen it out and about. That route is well off my normal patch.

This is now running out of ST along with the other 2240x seen this afternoon on a 325

I saw it on the 330 this afternoon so have answered my own question.

Spotted 256-branded E400H 12222 on the 219 this afternoon. Meanwhile, found a photo on Flickr showing 17051 on the 38.

Just like First and the 350 it's just as confusing with Stagecoach and the 219. Despite suggestions all journeys except a few a few early morning ones moving to AZ I've noticed the odd 'standard' HE Enviro400 on it in the afternoon. I'm fairly sure the early Sunday 219 which runs to Stalybridge is also still operated by HE as it was worked by a 256 branded Hybrid last Sunday.

Put things into perspective: I get the 219 every Wednesday since September, first time got diesel this week, a very noisy 19101. Deja vu
