RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Its still the same drivers lol,it eill take a bit for them to look at the routes and assess the reliabilities as they will promote a few drivers to inpectors and would get them to assess them just like they do on merseyside.

They have to keep the same routes and times for 3 months as I believe it's part of the deal, so expect any changes after March 2013.

Neither the first nor the last 08 reg to move from Stockport to Ashton. It will be followed by a few more in the next couple of weeks to make way for the new hybrids in Stockport.

That is understandable then with the new hybrids imminent.
So the 09 reg 19600's are not leaving then? and someone mentioned that the 06/56 reg Enviro400's are listed for cascade to East Midlands.

I don't know about the 09's. Haven't heard anything so I would guess they are staying at Stockport. If you mean the 59 reg MAN's, it seems to be mixed messages. I've heard people say they are going to Wigan, then that the 07 reg D/D's are staying at Wigan, so don't need replacing with the 59's.
Yes the 06/56 reg's are listed for cascade, with the majority most likely heading to East Midlands. This will probably herald the arrival of more 08 reg's at Ashton from Stockport. I know some people want the 59 reg's to go there, but there's no evidence as yet to suggest that will happen.
I believe the first of the hybrids has arrived at Hyde Road. All fleet and reg numbers have now been confirmed.

Two inspectors transferred over from First, these being the two dedicated Leigh/Wigan guys. There is a three month "no-change" period as stated by St Helens Rider, this is due to the Transfer of Undertakings regulations... but chances are things will already be being looked at with regards to improving punctuality.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
If u look at stagecoach in merseyside they have about 10 inspectors monitoring all the routes but got told by one of there inspectors thats how they have iy everywhere.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Stagecoach Manchester has 34 inspectors monitoring routes, stationed all over the network (and not just at bus stations).
