Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
Stagecoach have lost quite a few daytime tenders, most notably to MCT, recently. I wonder whether they merely submitted more expensive (thus losing) bids or lost interest in such tenders that require extra vehicles? In the late 80s West Midlands Travel shunned daytime tenders but remained interested in evening & Sunday tenders. Maybe Stagecoach Manchester are moving towards a similar policy?

No extra vehicles required as the tenders involved service and PVR cuts. Besides, most are run with TFGM hybrid s which transfer to MCT with the contract s

Not often we agree

Yes both 19514 and 19515 transferred from Sharston to Hyde Road this past weekend (4th Nov).

19405 also has the BBC Sounds advert applied like 19479.

Are the Enviro300's still in use at AZ?? Not seen them out for a while, but unusually AZ seems to once again have a couple of Solos - one is used on taxis most days.
