RE: Stagecoach Manchester
A lot of the former Magic Tridents have been re-allocated for Lincon so not all are finished yet Ace.

Despite the recent disposals I reckon that there are still a dozen ex-Bluebird Darts there, being 33865 to 33876.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Are the Tridents for Lincoln replacing single-deckers or older double-deckers there?

I caught route X57 from Manchester to East Didsbury this afternoon. I noticed more Enviro400s than Tridents on MagicBus routes 142 and 143. I knew these started from 19223, but I saw 19252 and 19263. I wonder whether all of 19223-63 will eventually be for MagicBus, possibly including route 141?

I changed from a Trident on route 168 to an Enviro400 on route 203 at Hyde Road. I noticed 2 short 51-reg Tridents off route 141 helping with driver changeovers. I also noticed 2 of these Tridents on route 142.

Remains to be seen at this stage, but my money would be on straightforward Olympian replacements. There are still a few MAN ALX300s to go from Lincoln, but I'm not sure where the program of swapping them up to Hull is at...

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Thank you for your recent updates. I look forward to the E40D-MMCs at HE, especially if they occasionally work route 197! I think their priority routes will be 201 and 203, and maybe other Hyde Road routes.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
With these new MMC Enviro400s coming to Wigan, is there a possibility of 10031 coming back to Morecambe or will it stay put?
