It seems that the Enviro 200-MMCs will be used freely alongside other Enviro 200s at Stockport. I saw 26142 on route 325 this afternoon.

Stagecoach have registered a X61 service from Preston to Chorley and a 61X from Chorley to Manchester. (Two separate registrations to prevent long distance service regulations?) The service is to start on 11 Nov 2017 but will end on 17 Dec 2017 so it sounds like a temporary service while the Christmas markets are on in Manchester.

Yeah, it's also Saturdays only and on the Stagecoach MCSL licence

I saw some kind of NK07 Enviro400 on the 600 in Golborne earlier! Where has this one come from?

That's 19199 (I think), which was at Hyde Road until recently (formerly from the North East, but came to Manchester when the 38 started).

10623 went into the back of 36782, Stockport bound, this morning on Didsbury Road. Not sure how much damage was done to 36782 but the front windscreen on 10623 was smashed up. The windscreen didn't cave in so hopefully the driver was fine.

It's great to see Enviro 200 MMC's finally in Manchester, spotted one in Wythenshawe on service 11 heading to Stockport earlier

According to VOSA Stagecoach services 56/57 (Blackley circulars) are withdrawn from 29 October but also states that they are amended from same date. It maybe that amendment is incorrect as lumped together with service 156. Stagecoach have won 129 from same day.

I don't think routes 56 & 57 have been going for long. I can't even place route 129, unless it's due to start on the 29th.

The 129 is the former JPT 'grasshopper' service which is currently run by Stotts. Sure it's the Hollins circular.
