For some reason, the link takes you to Stagecoach home page. However, if you click on the link on the North Manchester changes page (link below, as it's been removed from the Stagecoach Manchester homepage), it works.

In my area local 631/2, there is a close road due for work resurfacing at Highfield Grange Avenue and Holmes House Avenue(stop mini roundabout), I can see 47002 park at the car park of winstanley shopping arcade and the man stand and wait for something, and 631 bus service go turn right into car park then go normal route for passenger wait to pick up at 12.30pm....

So any idea why man wait for something with 47002 minibus at the car park?

Please tell me if my English sentence not good then I can't help it, thank for patient.

He may have been waiting for another driver to swap with if his shift had ended, unless it was broken down.

Seeing the takeover of Finglands by FGM do you think that they'd have a slightly bigger presence in South Manchester? (Off topic- I know) I think there could be a bit of tension between pink [first] and orange [stagecoach] on Wilmslow Road

Spotted 3 of about 6 buses loaned to Nottingham due to 3/4+ week rail station closure.
Sightings today near Kirkby-in-Ashfield being 19178/18290/1 all operating the Nottingham - Mansfield rail replacement services

I dout that they are on loan to Nottingham, as Stagecoach does not have a depot at Nottingham, however they do have a depot at Mansfield.

I know that they are all loaned at Mansfield, just saying Nottingham as a main nearby location.
Also to add to the sightings being 19334 and 19465

Did Stagecoach used to run services 181/182? I never understood these routes, which are far away from Stagecoach territory, or were they tendered?
