I do understand it is difficult when a driver is new and I would be the same for a while if it was me.
Training only goes so far. I would think drivers probably really start to learn to drive buses when they are actually on their own working the routes for real.
You do get the occasional one though, where some are born thick, some learn to be thick and others have thickness thrust upon them

13995 was on the 368 last Monday. 22142 was also on the 370 earlier this afternoon. Haven't seen 22134 or 22137 though-they were both in Stockport a few months ago.

Equally 22105 and 22120 have yet to make an appearance in recent months. Assuming they are all serviceable they will probably all be out soon.
I've heard other divisions are not sending Single Deckers to London until the Paralympics, presumably meaning some Double Deckers will come home and they'd go to replace them, so if that happens in Manchester the rest of the MAN's may be held back as possible replacements for some of the ailing Double Deckers that may not last the 3 months.
RE: Stagecoach Manchester - M60lad - 19/07/2012 06:32
I think I got the fleetnumber of the MAN on 50 wrong but I was on a 99 went it went past on its way out of town but I know it was definatly a S reg example
RE: Stagecoach Manchester - StageStig - 19/07/2012 08:10
22105 is in service at Hyde rd

Last I heard I don't think the management were too keen to tell for some reason.
I'm actually going to London for the final week of the Olympics on 6th August.
Would love to know which of our Manchester faithful to look out for.
Somebody has apparently seen 19425 operating near Tower Bridge on Olympic duty.
On the subject of the old MAN's 22139,22149 and 22181 were all on the 313 today.
I'm pleased you told me that actually. I've been looking for 19425 as it's the only 58 reg I haven't been on since I started my collection back in March. Will definitely be on the lookout for it in London now.
Yes the 313 does seem to have been taken over by the MAN's. I've also seen 22143 and 22160 in Stockport, and surprisingly 22819. This has been housed at Sharston but hardly ever gets used. I think it was a one off from somewhere a while back.
22819 was new to Morecambe but was caught up in the carlisle floods in 2005 when it went up for repaint, got refurbed then went to stockport.

Thanks for that. It's always nice to know a little about the history of our buses when they come to us. I've just checked the registration letters on line, and 'RM' was indeed a Carlisle registration before 2001.

I'll be looking for it then. No doubt I'll find it somewhere on my travels.

The 313 is usually populated by MAN's just younger ones 'X' reg,04 reg and 06 reg.
