I was quite surprised to see 33871 still in use on Friday evening on it's usual haunt the 346.

The 09 plate Enviro400s are common on the 540 and 600 in peak and the evening 33s.

It's not the 330 extension shortened to run Stockport - airport is it, with some of AZs MMCs moving to st and replaced at Ashton with Enviro200's so stagecoach can laugh at all the poor people forced to stand? Just a guess

Noted a '51 plate MAN operating from Middleton on Saturday, albeit not in service. Not close enough to see the number.
