I saw 2 white Solo SRs on route 278 this afternoon. Maybe these are the norm on that route now?

The 15 contract is for additional early morning journeys (one M-F & two Sa iirc). These are appearing on a number of routes into Manchester, as detailed in the GMCA minutes a few weeks back. A bit concerning in a way as GMCA have identified First and Stagecoach's "Manchester-centricity" as one of many reasons Bus Reform is needed, yet here they are subsidising (or facilitating) journeys that have been specifically tailored to stay pretty much within the city boundaries (albeit some serve Trafford destinations).
