RE: Stagecoach Manchester
[quote='Mayneway' pid='68859' dateline='1422096833'] I heard the same yesterday regarding the Evolutions. Apparently they are having too many problems with them and they are becoming unreliable. Quite surprising given their age. The Solos at at Middleton (which ever they still have) are also expected to go to Wigan in reserve but all Primo's should remain in use. On the subject of Middleton, have all 6 Primo's entered service? I know they have all been painted but I'm sure there was one on my list which I hadn't seen back in traffic, and have all 3 Olympians been withdrawn yet? Again I have two noted as stored at Wigan but not sure on the third. [/quote The third one was in use today as a shuttle bus, so it is still at Middleton |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Just had it confirmed by a good friend of mine from Middleton Depot that the Evolutions are now in storage at Wigan Depot along with Dart 33864 Out of interest I wonder with the service reductions/revisions at Stockport whether it will see the remaining older Enviro200s there being transferred over to Middleton Depot to join the rest of the batch there |
