Surprised nobody has mentioned that FM31 Wright Meridian MAN is currently in service at Preston Depot and yesterday was on 111 & 3 services, not to sure how long its here for though and why its here and what its replacing either.

There was a second Gold on X2 today as well, Southport to Liverpool at 11.45, Preston don't seem to be feildimg a full MAC team, 15905 was on X2 on Saturday, two Gold Scabies today, with a bus seated Scania on another day last week at least

Yet the 125 is seeing 2 standard Enviro400s and 2 Enviro300s on the route on a daily basis. It very much confuses me..

Give it time and I wonder how long it will be before one of the new X2 Scania MMC400s will find its way onto 125s considering the Golds are used often on X2s

I was thinking that myself, stagecoach are that unpredictable. Though they seem to be sending the old junk to Chorley

One wonders how some companies like NCT, Trent Barton and Reading Buses manage to keep route branded vehicles on the routes yet Stagecoach simply cannot - it isn't just a problem in Preston.
