maybe tfgm need to change who they buy buses off, im sure E200MMCs would look good in tfgm livery!

So presumably TFGM pay Optare to maintain and look after these hybrids and they return them in these conditions? Might explain some of the interesting panal work on some of MCTs hybrids, having said that when First had the large batch of hybrids at Dukinfield they were all kept in tip top condition and the stagecoach examples at Stockport don't look bad either.

I wasn't aware of it either, but it appears that YX62 AYM has been declared SORN, don't know how long ago though.

Over the past year I've seen one of the pair on the 139 two or three times, and I think one made an appearance on either C4 or C5 once. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to which one.
