19484 was reported elsewhere as having been seen broken down on the M6 on its return journey from the Ryder Cup.

The Spectra's are based at Sharston, but if memory serves me right 17612 is T reg and their are a couple of other T reg Tridents based at Hyde Rd that often apear on 168/169's. Reg's end KPU.
I'm sure there's a couple of the S###BWC tridents still at HE also.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Despite what the latest fleetcard/allocation list states 17180 has been sighted recently at Middleton Depot along with 22133, 47001 & 47002 from the Reserve fleet.

Also Stagecoach 16968 (ex JPT President) is currently in HE paintshop for repaint, what livery its going into I'm not to sure

Not sure if it's out in service yet but Primo 49894 is now in full Stagecoach livery and in my opinion looks quite decent.
As for the ex JPT Presidents, I'm told the colours their going into is a closely guarded secret but I'm thinking corporate livery. Middleton could do with some low floor deckers to replace the 3 Olympians but who knows.

Heritage livery (if only), isn't it likely to be the standard Stagecoach livery anyway?

Are Stagecoach going to use the JPT Trident or just B7TL's?

As regards the Tridents; 17612 is he only "white" T reg example and has been at HE a couple of months now. Unless it has moved very recently, 17002 remains at MN, where most of the later ex-London examples are now congregating.

Seen 47001 on staff shuttle duties in Droylsden today, 17651 is T reg and also found on 168/9s.

Just two B7TLs I've been told. The Trident is in too poorer condition.
It was suggested that the non standard JPT deckers would become Magic Buses like the ex Maynes, Bullocks and Dennis's stock but it's been hinted more recently that plans might have changed.
Don't forget the Spectra's were always tipped to become Magics after the Bullocks takeover but spent a good few years in corporate guise.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Hyde Road Magicbus Trident 17616 operated the late running 11:10 X57 Piccadilly-Woodford this morning, according Stagecoach Manchester's Twitter it was running late due to an earlier incident.

Forget the fleetnumber but the Wigan Rider branded Enviro 200 was helping out on X34s this morning due to the problems on East Lancs Road at Moorside Road junction
