Clicky for full size, but 28506 is out and about again. She was NOT in service at that shot, and might not be for a few days yet. But I'm getting a ride on her as soon as she reappears in service, don't care where she's going, as long as I've got enough time to get back to college

What chassis/engine/gearbox do they have? I thought at first they where MAN 14.220 but the rear end is completely different to Arriva 2826 - 2829.

Saw 19286 on the X57 before? Has it moved from Ashton? 12221 was also on the same route.

If the 219 has transferred to AZ, then the theory was enough Hybrids would transfer with it so that it became as near 100% Hybrid operated as possible, as Stagecoach are commited to do in return for Green Bus Funding from the tax-payer. However, as AZ were already running 219 workings (with Diesels), the relevant number of Diesels would transfer to HE. This would probably be four or five buses, but only 19286 has been reported at HE - And indeed, the only Hybrid reported with AZ so far is 12122.

12117 is also at az confirmed entering depot tonight by myself

How many Hybrids would be needed to run the 219 completely green? I'm guessing given the number of Diesel Enviro400's on the 219 yesterday and today some of these movements are still to happen.

It looks as though MMU are still promoting the new 141 route heavily to staff and students.

It makes you wonder if the service is doing as well as expected.

Only just noticed that Enviro200 27624 (ST59 JPT) has now been painted into Stagecoach livery when seeing it on the 118 at Piccadilly this morning. Certainly does blend in with the other Enviro200s transferred into Middleton depot.

Here's a photo from Flickr from earlier this week:

Isn't it a Enviro300 rather than a 200?!
The only thing that makes it stand out is the tinted saloon windows which I don't like.

Sorry, meant 300, was mixing them up with the 200s that came from Stockport depot

Stockport depot
I've noticed this week (1/2 term) that Stockport routes 368/9 passing through Cheadle Hulme have been constantly double decker workings, have the normal seen elderly single deckers been withdrawn/ moved on
