3053 and 3077 are now fitted with WiFi

A Yutong demonstrator is due here in the new year for a few months. It'll be used on the 26/27 circulars

And also a Wrightbus StreetAir in the next few weeks for 3 months which will move around routes.

It only has 23 seats though which will limit it's useage.

If it only has 23 Seats i would argue that its not suitable for any Green Lane routes and therefore should go somewhere that has Services that only require 23 Seats, Chester or Bolton might of been a better idea

AFAIK Green Lane is the only depot planned to receive this type in the near future so needs familiarisation with them. Common sense suggests that it will be used as an extra and slotted in between busy duties.

Fair enough, though I'm surprised that managers would want to pay for an extra driver's wages etc. for this.

The manufacturers are trying to sell their products so I suspect that there's some sort of financial inducement to buy or even hire.
