A couple have been noted recently either route learning on AZ routes or actually in service, so as unlikely as it would seem on paper, something is happening. They don't appear on the Period 10 allocation though.

I also prefer them to other Enviro400s here.

Looked liked it was a day of odd workings on Stagecoach's Trafford Centre services as this morning HE had their corporate liveried dual-door Trident on 250s, I noticed it leaving Manchester at about 10:10.

I noted 19339 parked up at Wigan bus station didn't realise we still had it

In response to both your posts, I have seen 16949 on 2 or 3 occasions this week. It has not been refurbished and still has yellow grabrails and Go-Ahead London 2000-06 moquette.

On Monday or Tuesday this week (sorry I forget which evening) the 20.55 42 from Stockport to Manchester Piccadilly was elderly Trident 17202. This morning I felt as though normal service had been resumed, as the 8.32 197 Manchester Albert Square - Stockport was a Trident again! This time 18110.
