Noted 33856 close to Middleton Depot over the weekend, so it appears to be still in service.

Looks like there'll be some changes to the North Manchester services in January with a possible new service, as 114 has now been included into the 112/113 registration, while the 118 has been merged into the same registration:

PC0003681/333 - GREATER MANCHESTER BUSES SOUTH LTD T/A STAGECOACH MANCHESTER, HEAD OFFICE, HYDE ROAD, ARDWICK, MANCHESTER, M12 6JS
Variation Accepted: Operating between Manchester and Middleton given service number 118/112/113/114 effective from 25-Jan-2015. To amend Timetable.

PC0003681/367 - GREATER MANCHESTER BUSES SOUTH LTD T/A STAGECOACH MANCHESTER, HEAD OFFICE, HYDE ROAD, ARDWICK, MANCHESTER, M12 6JS
Cancellation Accepted: Operating between Manchester and North Manchester General Hospital given service number 118 effective from 25-Jan-2015.

Also looks like the 374 may be split up into two sections with the Stockport-Reddish section re-numbered 329:

There were talks of the 114... Gardeners arms turn backs to stop the confusion at peak time

Not seen 22233/4 back from Wigan, either!

22233 is VOR for MOT prep at the moment

Not sure what happened with the 53s last night but spotted one heading for Salford stuck on Chester Road near Tesco (Manchester-bound carriageway) just after full time of the Man Utd match at Old Trafford.

Interesting addition to Middleton Depot is Magicbus Trident 17578 which was used this afternoon on School Service 839, not to sure if its an addition/loan or its replaced something

Is it actually allocated/loaned to Middleton or was it actually just seen working a Middleton service? It might have been drafted in to cover for a broken down Trident or something along those lines.


I noticed one of ST's MAN engined Enviro400's on the 330 recently and assumed it was at AZ but when I mentioned it to my 'snout' he confirmed that it had been drafted in to cover a journey in each direction to cover a break down.
