RE: Stagecoach Manchester
It's still down for cascade to SC South, but hasn't made the move on paper (or even in reality AFAIK!).

I think I remember seeing an Enviro200 in Bolton this morning possibly 36417. Also saw 19084 last week which sounded to have a Mercedes engine.

Yeah on paper its classed as a bus to be cascaded to South but still sat at the back of Hyde rd

27207 and 27825/27 where on the pits today and no others in the depot so they must have been out there somewhere

I have a video of 19084 in Bolton, but I am struggling to upload it at the moment as my USB lead shorted and nearly set my computer on fire!

The delivery schedule is known from before the order is announced. For obvious reasons, people who do know the schedule tend to keep very quiet about specific dates until near delivery date, to avoid any problems with leaking sensitive info.

Wigan's E400MMCs are October allegedly, Hyde Rds early next year - so presumably January, but depending how far ahead ADL are it could conceivably be December.

I have seen a 380 and 381, and both were indigenous Solos, rather than TfGM hired stock.
