It was swap with 21248, about 3 or 4 days ago.

Thank for that, I'll update the fleet list later

Apparently due to the amount of vehicles needed for Metrolink Replacements yesterday this saw Sharston Spectra 13995 doing a duty on 104s, I think this is the first time that one of them has been used on anything other than Magicbus work or Taxibuses

Interesting. Any idea what they will be?
Hopefully something bigger than the Enviro200's.

E400Hs for Sharston and Hyde Rd, Enviro200s for Ashton and Stockport.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Just spotted an Enviro400 Hybrid going through Glossop town centre and out towards the Royal Oak with about 6/8 drivers on board.
Was too far away to get a fleet number.

Any idea of how many Enviro200's AZ is getting. Presumably they are to replace the remaining older MANs still in service, although I wouldn't be surprised if AZ looses some Enviro400's once they arrive as im sure there will be a small reduction in 216's given the Metrolink is now up and running.

Ashton and Stockport are getting 2 Enviro200s each.

Are they for replacing older buses or for expansion?
