Stagecoach Manchester
RE: Stagecoach Manchester
B9s - 169xx, I think the first available is 16949 (?) so they'll probably start at 16950
B7RLEs - 212xx, probably from 21240 upwards.
Arrows - 189xx (?!)
Excels - 350xx
Darts - 33xxx if there's any spaces left.

Stagecoach held a competition earlier this year at one or possibly two primary schools in Brinington, where the school kids came up with names for the 5 new Enviro200's at ST, the winning ones got their names on and inside the buses.
Don't think it's being rolled out across the fleet Smile

Probably use the old B6 numbers 30xxx if they run out.

There was some naming competition by schoolkids in Brinnington earlier in the year.

Looks like 19009 has moved to Hyde Road from Ashton. It was on the 50 tonight.

Don't see why Hyde Rd need a 06 reg Enviro400 now, probably explains why 19053 has been on Ashton routes
Plus a bonus is that I caught 17670 on the 236 this morning to Ashton, probably that could be filling in the absence of 19009

I noticed 17670 come into the bus station at lunch time full of punters but left out of service and was replaced on 236's by an Enviro200.

On the subject of Ashton Bus Station, i notice the penpushers at TFGM have brought back sunday and evening stands from yesterday [11/12]. There was a lot of confusion yesterday evening as people struggled to work out which stand they were meant to wait at, add to that the fact most buses were running late due to the remberence parades earlier in the day.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Can anyone help?
I drove past a Stagecoach Enviro 400 in Guildford this morning about half a mile from the Dennis factory, (I think it had a reg starting M something and I thought I saw fleet number 10000 (which doesn't appear to exist) I was driving in the opposite direction and there were cars in front of me and the bus, so could not get a good look.
N.B Stagecoach have no routes in this part of Guildford and the local S/C company have no Enviro400s based in the area, it was almost certainly on a test drive from the factory.
Paintwork looked very good, was it a new vehicle or one down for warranty work?
