I think you've hit the nail on the head although Stagecoach would never admit that but it certainly feels like it's low priority for them although you can get a good mix of older tridents and younger Enviro400's, the S###BWC Tridents must spend most of there time on 168/169's.

Yesterday (Saturday) being no exception. I'm assuming stagecoach were doing either rail or Metrolink replacement work as most daytime workings yesterday were worked by the dual door Magic Tridents complete with 141 branding.
Why they carnt use the Tridents on thier replacement work I don't know.
