I live on the 78 route and I've seen a couple of hybrids on it and went on one on the 78 last night mainly theyve been 12-regs but I don't know if I've seen an 50 branded ones but I may have missed it

Friday 15th August

Hyde Road having a bit of fun today, saw 18110 at lunchtime working an X50, I thought that was the strange working of the week until at 1530 in Rusholme I saw 22183 on tue X57! First time I've ever seen a MAN on the X57! The punters looked slightly miffed!

Is 18110 still in standard livery or is it Magic bus because a while someone suggested it was going to magic bus?

Also found a shot of 22183 on the X57 on Flickr:

Its a shame some of the older fleet will no doubt go soon , such as H155 BKH I was in Piccadilly and made a spontaneous decision to try it and it really is a smooth runnner to say it is 24 years old and still running its not often I go on buses older than me (17 y/o)
