These are all believed to be going to Stockport not sure where they will be used though.

10606 was in Daw Bank lower garage this morning looking in need of a little TLC. The only one of the new Stockport buses I saw in a brief drive past was 10624 which was in the outside compound with other not in service buses.

I saw 2 MMCs on route 192 today, one I think 10624 and the other was very surprisingly 10465! Furthermore, it was south of Stockport only proceeding as far as Stockport.

I have recently noticed Enviro200s on Sunday route 22 journeys in place of recent E400Hs.

I saw 5 192's [all green]between Heaton Moor Rd and Crossley Road all going towards Stockport at about ten to ten this morning. We were not going slowly or in traffic.

Despite reports of its withdrawal, 16971 was very active on Middleton routes over the weekend. I also noted 17497, which was reported to be in reserve on the last few fleet cards, out and about again. This has been a regular sighting which suggests that it is also at Middleton.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
In a short time at Daw Bank late morning today[because it was battering down with rain] I saw:-

10622 on 368
10617 on 203

SN16OXG and OXK both in lower garage without numbers[10625 and 10628?]
SN16OXL at far end of top garage WITH number[looked like 10629] affixed
SN16OXM looked like it might have been arriving for first time[no number 10630?]

At least 8 probably 1 or 2 more green buses[all I could see clearly were route marked 192-seemed a lot] between the two garages

10606 awaiting TLC in lower garage.
22405 surrounded by cars still-it ain't going anywhere soon.

You would think Stockport would have any spare Hybrids out on other services rather than sat in the depot. I know at Ashton they seem to utilise all hybrids, this is most noticeable on a Sunday when Hyde road operate some of the 219's - Ashtons examples will and do turn up just about anywhere.
