A post on another forum by a stagecoach employee suggests that the online stagecoach employee magazine has reported that the first 31 are for AZ (216/330) then 9 for HE (250/X50) followed by 13 for ST (23/23A).
The confusing bit has been that HE have rushed the first few into service as some of their own buses are working away but this week may see the first few enter service at Ashton, but allocations shouldn't settle down until after Parklife as all the MMCs (old and new) are expected to be used.

As the admin of Stagecoach Enthusiasts said there

That would have made far more sense - why send new buses on-loan to one depot to allow them to loan older stuff down south when it would have made more sense to send the new buses there? That to me seriously suggests what you've been told is incorrect and 10578-97 are indeed all for Hyde Road.
