Is this just their not having updated the paintwork yet, or were there 'on hire to' notices in the windows?

Yesterday afternoon's 37/38 service was a complete disaster. The 16:45 and 17:30 departures off Altrincham didn't appear (apparently, taken-off so that the drivers could do other duties) and the 18:15 didn't operate as the Howards Plaxton Dart ran out of fuel in Altrincham. After two hours of waiting, the regular woman driver did the 18:45 off Altrincham (with the Transit) and was a pleasure to speak to. If only all of their drivers and staff had the same attitude as her...

I saw their Transit for the first time yesterday.
Confusingly, the destination board was less conspicuous than its adverts for use on airport transfers and the like, making it look more like a private hire.

Well I didn't see this coming!
Coachways has just announced investment in seven new state-of-the-art Enviro 800H buses for use on the 37/38 and new service 339B, as part of the government's Green Bus Fund.
They are also opening a new depot in Altrincham with a view to expansion into Manchester, and are training an extra nine drivers over the coming two years.
You can see the announcement here:

Apart from that, I noticed eight of them parked in their depot today in bad conditions - from what I can remember, they were MX06 ADZ, YN06 CYE, YX06 LJY, MX07 JPO, HIG 7791, plus one with green branding, one with blue branding and one plain white. SF06 LLG isn't a Primo - it's a Mercedes minibus. For the record, I haven't seen that on the 37/38 for a while and it wasn't in the depot this afternoon, although it may have been out in use on other duties. Hope this helps somehow!
