RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Fully Branded Bluebird Livery No Stagecoach Logos or anything as far as i could tell its at the exit as you leave the depot against the fence

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Thanks, was just curious as AFAIK it's never seen service under Stagecoach ownership.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
All of the JPT and Bluebird vehicles for disposal have now left if that's what you mean?
Only 33856, 33860-3/8 not in service (reserve) from Bluebird now.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
There was Around 20 T-MVM Buses and S-TRJ's and also a couple of bluebird buses a couple of ex Stagecoach Western X Plates? an Eclipse against the wall (Assume nothing wrong with it) and approx 10 DD Magics and a couple of heavily cannibalized buses

Simple Answer is catch the 610 it goes into the depot and you can see what is what!

16797/9, 17175/670, 18281/3/7/8, 22103/5/29/30/3/6/8/44/5/7/57/8/63/5/7/80-5/9/212, 33780/860-3/8, 47002. I suspect 16798 might also be there, but I'm surprised 33856 has been withdrawn just yet, given Middleton are two Darts down following accidents within hours and a few hundred metres of each other last week!
As for your simple answer:
As you might guess from my username, it would involve a 40+ mile round trip in questionable weather. I also doubt all 30 odd buses would be seen and identified in one quick circuit. I raised the subject, because the inference of the original message was that many MANs had disappeared, but "around 20" is much more in line with my list above.

I presume by "ex Stagecoach Western X plates" you mean 33780 and either 33775/9, previously (wrongly?) reported as sold to PVS.

16798 is still in Service at Middleton but should be heading to Wigan any time now

Theres a huge PVR drop at Middleton from 25th so i assume thats when 33856 will pass into Reserve (on paper its been in Reserve for about 3 months now)
