They have become unreliable and are non standard. I think on two consecutive weekends before Christmas I spotted Evolutions broke down awaiting tows. It is a shame given their age but given the service cuts at a Midldleton it makes sense to take constantly unreliable vehicles out of traffic and inro reserve.

Carnt see what they will do with them though. Way to young to scrap and they will want too much for them to sell.

Noticed two Enviro200's on 168/169's at lunchtime. Unusual to see during the week. Will be interesting at school chucking out time

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
From what I've been told the following vehicles have been withdrawn from Middleton Depot and gone into storage:

33864
33865
33866
33867
33869
33870
33871
33872
33874
33876
33873 is still at Middleton recieving attention before it goes

And 33875 is being written off after it was involved in the accident in Moston

Also all 12 of Middleton Decker allocation should now be allocated to mainly School duties and the following will in theory be allocated to their service work:

Enviro200s will be allocated mainly to 156 & 171s
MANs and Enviro300s allocated to 112/114/118s
Primos 115/116/173/194/196s

26131 has very recently re-entered service, 26130 is due back soon, i think 33100 is parked at Sharston Depot

Apparently not sure how true this is but 2 Solos from Middleton have or are supposedly going to Ashton Depot

They have so that takes the Solo count at Ashton to 5. I was told evening work excluding the 216/219 will be done by a mix of Solos and Enviro200's and as confirmation I've already spotted two Solos heading for Glossop in the last hour on 236/237's.
