When you passed through Stockport, did you notice that 20982 was still parked up in the compound between the depot and the bus station - despite it being reported as "sold". Wonder if 20983 has been sold instead.

I don't know if there's been a change of allocating policy at HE but I've noticed since the beginning of January the 168/169 seems to have swung back towards Enviro400's. Obviously the Tridents still appear very often but this so called 'pool' of Corpy Tridents for the 168/169 isn't quite the case with them turning up on pretty much anything.
I don't pay too much attention when I'm driving but im sure I've seen an unbranded 12 reg Enviro400 on the 168/169 a few times lately.
