I'm sure that will happen one day. Once we've got rid of all the Euro 3 old bangers, maybe it might be next on the Green Bus Fund list.

I would think it will be a good few years away.
Stagecoach carnt be seen to be 'actively' competing with the Metrolink. So if Stagecoach rolled out Hybrids at the end of the year on the 216 it may to some like their trying to prise punters away from the tram.

It would be nice to see the 168/169 go green though. I travelled on a Hybrid on the 168 a few weeks ago and it performed quite well.

I for one would love to see WiFi rolled out across the Stagecoach fleet.

Magic Bus and a 76-branded Enviro400 out on the 291 yesterday.

Also, have Stagecoach sent a Enviro400 to Middleton depot? As I saw one on the 131 yesterday morning

I feel sorry for the bloke at Wigan depot who has to put the stickers on the windows that advertise the prices. There's been a fair few changes to them recently.
Once again, they're in The process of replacing The window stickers

Not sure where Middleton Depot's MPD's and Enviro 200s were hiding yesterday but the supposedly minibus/MPD operated 115/116s were operated yesterday using the following:

115 MCV Evolution
116 ALX300 MAN

Also getting to be a regular occurrence now is that whenever the Metrolink is off between Manchester-Central Park Stockport Depot's MAN Enviro 400s are used on replacements with yesterday being no exception with 19631 and another being among the vehicles being used on there

Does anybody know if the new Enviro400 Hybrids will have Wifi like the 192's?
Also what about the new Enviro200's? Have they advanced into the Wifi age yet?

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Yes, E400Hs will have Wifi.
Enviro200s won't though.
