Has anyone also seen 19068/80 around as I havent seen them both for nearly 2 months

22055 is a transfer Benzo

Cheers for that Mayneway, 47622 has gone back to Stockport too after the loss of Stagecoach's operation on the 390 Glossop route. therefore just leaving only 1 required solo for the 342/344 and maybe the 183

On the subject of AZ Solo's, is 47559 still alive and kicking at AZ then? I haven't seen it for a while and the last couple of weeks Stagecoach had the 390 it was always 47622.
Also for the first time ever, AZ Enviro200's have been out on a Sunday on daytime 202's.

Stockport's E400Hs are spreading a bit. I rode 12219 on route 23 and 12199 on 23a during evenings earlier this week. The evening service had been mainly Enviro200 for a while. The Sunday service has been Man-ALX300 during the day and Enviro200 in the evenings for a while. I wonder whether the full Sunday service will now be E400H?

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Stockport's E400H's were spreading their wings last night as well as me and a HE driver spotted 2 on 23/23A last night while we were parked up at Southern Cemetery, and earlier on in the day I had spotted another one on 383/384 route in Stockport Bus Station. Mind you with a couple of Stockport's allocation yesterday out on Metrolink Replacement's and with PVR on 192 lower on a Saturday I'm guessing this was bound to happen

Great to see the Stockport hybrids using the bus station. Is the Spectra always the spare bus

There are 2 spectras. They don't run at weekends but are no longer officially reserve as they are quite active during the week. Often to be found on 378, 314 or 23/23A.

Last time I saw 47559 was 9 months ago. Seems to have disappeared. I think I might rename it Shergar

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Since Stagecoach Manchester transferred some Envirios to both Wigan and Rock Ferry Depot's and transfered others between Depots it seems to me that it has left Stockport Depot short of the type and usually during the week and the odd time on Saturdays the Spectra's can find their way into normal service

Thanks for the info, regarding the 2 spectras. I been meaning to ask about them, as I heard that they had been re-instated yet again. I have lost count how many times they been withdrawn, just to be re-instated.
