Think Ashton have gained another 4 Enviro400's being 19260 (on 330) 19285/6 and 19287 (seen on 330 tonight) can anyone confirm these?

Yes. They've stepped in to replace 7 06 reg's that have gone to Hull.
The said ones being 19007/9/11/13 that have already gone, and 19010/12 and 14 to follow, presumably heralding another 3 arrivals at Ashton.

I saw 19286 on the 330 this afternoon in Stockport.Where is 19005 these days?

That looks awful at the front!

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
That repaint does look terrible...

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Not the best. Shouldn't the front be Blue rather than White?

Come on! They should know how to paint a dart as they've got a few in the fleet before bluebird!

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
I'm no expert in painting or art, but I do know the Stagecoach livery is Blue at the front, Red at the back, and Blue and White down the sides with an Orange stripe.
Maybe someone should have shown the painter a photo of a properly done one before they started.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
I agree but it's not got the blue and orange like triangle thing heading south easternly down towards the drivers window... If that made sense :p
