I was waiting for the 76 to Oldham at around 3.20 PM and 17631 turned up, you'd think if there having to put Enviro400's on the 142/3 that a Magic bus Dennis Trident would be on the 142/3 rathe than the 76! Anybody got a reason why there was a magic bus on the 76?

17631 replaced 10047 at 830am due to the fact the heaters were not working and the bus felt like the arctic!!!!

19454 was operating the 142 this morning Manchester bound in Didsbury at 0745.

So......the Megarider tickets for Magicbus are cheaper than the regular Stagecoach. If I had a Magicbus Megarider ticket & saw the 142 coming & it was a regular Stagecoach Enviro400 I would think I can't put my hand out to stop it as I don't have the correct ticket, but...........surely if I did, the driver would have to accept my ticket because the bus should be a Magicbus. Would I be right? I suppose the same question can be asked about the two Spectra's. How is one supposed to know?
