19331 is on loan whilst a Hybrid Enviro400 is at Wigan for engineering purposes.

Green bus funding has been awarded but only for 32 of the BYD/Enviro City Enviro400's all will work from Sharston Depot on two specific routes. The remaining part of the bid for a further 73 has been unsuccessful on this occasion.

Thanks for clarifying the bid being part of the application for 105 such buses. Obviously, the 43 will be one route but that doesn't leave much left. The question is, how will this affect the declared intent to move remaining low emission buses to other south M' cr, Trafford and Salford routes?

Waste should be on the 192 or 42 not the 43 as they do more inner city work.

Does anybody know how long it takes to order 32 buses and have them built and ready? The thing is the article states that the ones for Stagecoach should be ready and in service for Autumn this year so that probably means they'll be in service for about Septembr/October at the latest.

Like me I suspect, predictive text has hit this reply. Should the word waste read something completely different?

Notwithstanding the word waste, 42 & 43 are identical between Withington and Piccadilly so no difference in terms of Inter city work. Besides the Clean Air Act doesn't discriminate on the basis of straight demographic s. Also, Sharston is quoted as the sole recipient depot. 42 group is run by Hyde Road and 192 by Stockport.
