47768 on 159
Salford Unibus 16949 on 80/112
33856 on 80/112
31388 & 28507 on 44

Apparently from what I was told yesterday the 2 ex Mayne East Lancs Scania Omnitowns are now at Middleton Depot

Yep 28506/7 have both gone to Middleton as they were not being used at AZ.
Middleton seems to have become the dumping ground for all Stagecoach's oddities in the fleet.

Yes I was thinking that as well. I think the truth is they are there temporarily until the buses they actually do want to keep are painted, refurbished etc, and all services are running properly. Once this happens I think a lot of them will be on their way to the great bus depot in the sky to meet their makers.

Some may already be on there way!
No sign of the yellow or London Red Darts since last Sunday. All 3 are apparently at Hyde Road but why?? although the 2 yellow ones were very unreliable the red one was actually quite a good performer. Carn't see Stagecoach painting them, although ive read elsewhere that the two white Darts [the two ex Haytons ones i think] may be retained for a while as they have had a lot of money spent on them, but again i carn't see Stagecoach waisting time and money painting them.

Ive also noticed that the Solo's have been given fleet numbers but no fleetnames, could these be some of the first to go??
