Certainly no sign of Metrolink replacement buses at the Piccadilly end. Even though its half-term in some parts of GM, the proportion of schools services run by Stagecoach is fairly low, so I wouldn't imagine there were many buses involved.

Sorry to persevere on this. Last Tuesday I was in Manchester Piccadilly 0820 to 1000 and at Shudehill from 1445 to 1600 - all times approx. The Metrolink replacement buses were running to Crumpsall for the Bury line and Central Park for the Oldham/Rochdale line. At the city end I think it would have been Sr Peter's Square though I am not sure. I lost count of the number of buses I saw on these replacement services. Tridents 17002/10/11/240/1/2/3 and many Enviro400s including 19088/89,192xx,193xx and 194xx. My estimate would have been 25 buses in total, possibly more.
