Not to sure which depot their going to but apparently Solo SRs 48023-48025 & 48031 have been transferred to Stagecoach Manchester and at least 2 of them are currently at Hyde Road Depot, be interesting to see what they may replace.

Speaking to a friend that works at Hyde Road the other day he was under the impression that 3 were for Middleton to replace some of the Ex-Bluebird Enviro200's.

SKM reports that 36074 HH56 BLU is withdrawn for disposal, so that could be correct.

Wonder how many Bluebird vehicles actually remain within Stagecoach is it just the 3 Enviro200s and 2 Solo SRs?

Within Manchester I think so. If i remember rightly 2 of the Solo SR's went to Scotland along with 3 Enviro300's (27598/99/600). I'd imagine the Solos are still around, not sure on the Enviro300s

I knew about the 3 Enviro300s however I keep thinking they were with JPT and not Bluebird obviously there’s their 2 Enviro300s as well

36075 is at Stockport Depot, repainted in new livery and operating on 328 service.
Ashton based 12122 is also repainted in new livery.

Anyone any idea what was wrong with 36074?

There cant be much left of the inherited JPT/Bluebird fleet even out of Stagecoach.
Off the top of my head I think a pair of JPT Primo's went up to Scotland, while Olympian 16896 went i believe to Non-PSV use.
From Bluebird I can only think of a few of the MCV's and a couple of Darts that were sold.
I do wonder how many still survive.
