Its not that unusual for AZ to borrow on of the MAN engined Enviro400s, but it would certainly be a surprise for them to move permanently! Hopefully, once all the MMCs are in service at HE, the cascade programme will become clearer, but the assumption is that the remaining Euro3 Enviro400s will transfer out (mainly to AZ), and release more early Euro4s from AZ (and hopefully a few direct from HE) to the MagicBus fleet, which in turn, will see Magic Tridents leave the fleet to allow all buses on Wilmslow Road corridor and up Portland Street, to be Euro4 or better.

How many buses do they need for the Magic bus fleet? Why do they need so many? Are Manchester getting 31 MMC's or 25?
