I didn't think Hyde Road had that many single door Magic Tridents so are some on loan from Sharston?

Given that the 141 dosen't run at weekends I'm fairly certain Dual door Tridents will crop up on other magic services but I wonder gear the chances are of any appearing on a corporate service?

Relating to both above posts, I saw 17002 on route 168 this afternoon. I found out last weekend that 17001 has gone to preservation, which probably means 17002 is the oldest Stagecoach Trident in service anywhere.

Of interest locally is that Stagecoach Manchester have apparently sold 40660 to them. Interesting as 40660 was in Ashton yesterday and today on route learning duties.

I'm sure 40660 was used as the regular bus in Corrie.
