RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Didn't manage to identify it as I was travelling in the opposite direction but have just seen an Enviro 200 on the 600 Wigan bound going through Lowton - my first sighting of any of these in service at Wigan.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
They've run the last four years atleast as they where worked by the 66901-5 batch of Eclipses when they where here for the 600/11/2/35 bus war

The Drivers Layover at Wigan BS at the Stands there during the 2 hour gap.

After 7:20pm i didnt note a single Stagecoach liveried bus in Wigan of note one of the Eclipses has gained Stagecoach Moquette on the Wheelchair Bay think it was a 55 plate.
