Stagecoach Manchester

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
For a good few months now, I think Stagecoach have been gradually reducing the number of Magic buses on the route at any one time. More and more Enviro400's are flooding the route now, and I think this may be the future for them in the short to medium term. With a mixture of cascades, accidents and withdrawals, a few blue buses have bitten the dust in recent times and Stagecoach haven't been in a hurry to get the paintbrushes out to replace them. One reason for this might be, in the Autumn the MMU is moving to Birchfields, so would be covered by the 256. This would effectively mean, the theory about the Magic buses getting green bus funding would, in a roundabout way, come true.
