I think Dentionan makes a good point though. Unlike the regular Enviro400's, the hybrids were part funded by the green bus fund. stagecoach bid for funding to make a certain service 'green' in this case it was the 219/197. stagecoach received the funding and bought the buses, but it's almost like they have gone back on the deal by increasing the number of diesel Enviro400's on the 219 and using the hybrids on services that wernt given green bus funding.

It's abit like First pioneer using thier Hybrid Solo's/Versa's on the commercial 348 instead of the subsidised services they were meant for.
