This was the only (HE) MMC I saw today, but my obs covered well over half of Hyde Road corridor workings. None amongst the (few) 15, 38, 250/X50 etc I saw either. In fact, two of the X50s were 19083/98 which is actually quite sensible as I believe these Euro3s are more "pokey" than the Euro4s, so it makes sense to run them where there is oppurtunity to reach 30 mph for long spells. Are you sure it stalled and just does not have stop/start like 80027 |

Does the stop/start thing only kick in when the hand break is used? For Blog Posts Containing all the latest in the local Bus Scene The 2002 Bus Blog Subscribe to my Youtube Channel, Updated regularly! All my Social Media Links here! https://linktr.ee/TerencePrice |

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
Has 36422 transferred from Ashton to Stockport? It was on the 313 this morning. |

I was told 1 possibly 2 more if the evolutions are now also in use at AZ - they were at Wigan, so it would in theory free up Enviro200's. |

I've seen a photo of 19633 on the 216 today. |
