Yep both seem to spend most of thier time on 168/169's these days although I noticed one on the 201 one morning last week.
Are these still loans or is it safe to say there here to stay?

Thanks for confirming that mayneway I've not seen them for a while, i think we can say now they are here for good now i reckon they would have been recalled if needed by now in Bedford.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
4 buses an hour to Manchester sounds like a lot. What are Stagecoach trying to achieve? Are they trying to take passengers from First Bus 15, 26 and X34?

Trying to run all other companies, off the road!?

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
Its competition. Besides its not like they're undercutting an independent this time, they are competing with First by providing a more frequent service with brand new high spec buses. Which they are perfectly entitled to do. Running other companies off the road is a little bit taking it too far.

they are getting their part of the market off the ground before First start services on the Guided Busway.

Wernt the Stagecoach varients of these services gained when they acquired the Wigan operations of First Manchester following years of zero investment and what seemed like very little interest by First ?
If anything it's good to see that Stagecoach have continuously invested in the Wigan operation and long may it continue
