27624 has gone to Stockport for MOT, evidently needed it for service until there ready to start working on it.

47623 is now at Middleton for the 12 Middleton Circular and for replacing 47774 for Corrie

Market street in droylsden has opened a lot sooner than anticipated (unusual for united utilities) so 168/169 and 231s have returned to there normal route, however the shuttle service is still running.
Im assuming it's been given to stagecoach as a contract with an agreed price so will it continue to run or will it end sometime today?

Bear in mind that Sunday was the end of Period 13, so its probably not a case of the fleetcard not telling, but the movements not being caught up 'in the wash' yet.

Next couple of days I'm sure we'll have the fleetcard.

One thing I've noticed is that since the recent timetable changes is that Ashtons Hybrid Enviro400s are being used on 330s on a daily occurance, not sure if its the same duty every day or not, they seem to be sticking to journies finishing at Stockport as I've yet to see one on a Airport duty althought guessing it will happen.

Before the timetable change the 345 daytime duty during the day would often have a Hybrid Enviro400 allocated to it before it would go back to depot for a driver change and come back out and do 15:23 231 Ashton-Piccadilly service.
