Also not sure how true this is but he has been told by a friend of his at Hyde Road that both Hyde Road and Stockport are shortly due some Darts from Middleton Depot, apparently the ones coming to Hyde Road will be going on 171 (apparently the MANs are having problems getting round a certain part of the route) and the ones coming to Stockport will be going on 374s.

Other news is that the former Bluebird Yellow liveried MPD that's parked at the back of HE is apparently withdrawn and will see no further service with Bluebird and the same with the London Central liveried Dart

Further news on the former London Trident parked at Hyde Road Depot is that yes it is for a Dance Troupe but allegedly someone has got the paperwork wrong as the Dance Troupe is based in London from what I've heard today

Which Trident is this? 17239 or 17244?

Funny how they've decided the MAN's are unsuitable for the 171 after 14 years.
