But taxpayers have still funded the purchase of them, whether TfGM paid or the green bus scheme - the money has still come out of our pockets one way or another and were still paying for operators to run tendered services with them, and now it seems Stagecoach are using theirs for commercial gains - crazy!

Here's one for Jimbo or James. When a Hybrid is off the road, and First/Stagecoach use one of their own vehicles on the Green tendered service, do they bill TfGM for the hire of their own vehicles??? If that makes sense

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Tfgm leased hybrids must be serviced regularly and at a place of tfgms choosing, this or breakdowns is the reason for absense

The rubber flap on the door of 21247 is dangling off. Not a good look and makes a rather annoying sound.

Also not sure if its been reported but 22103 is another MAN now at Middleton Depot

22103 was noted on service 112 today, Also noted today on 112, is that 33860 has been re-registered from 196 BLU to VX51 RCO.

It's usually an Enviro300 on the 33 Martyn. But I did see MX05 CKN(21239) which is B7RLE operating the 32 to Tyldesly a few days ago. Just like the good times of First.

Usually I saw on the flickr.com someone take a picture on Piccadilly is enviro 300 on 32. I know that about 33 sometime on enviro 300 I haven't see that on 33 recently.
