One minute all the MANs are going, virtually all AZ services are done with Enviro400/200's, the exception being the 217/218, yet over the last few days there's MANs all over Ashton. This morning I spotted 3 which all looked like loans as they had moderner seating, all waiting to do 216's, the 236 and some 237's have gone back to MANs and I even spotted a couple on the 347.

Are the 2 Tridents still at AZ?? Saw one on Monday on 236's but not seen either since??

612 was about yesterday afternoon heading out by argos didnt see what it was doin though not seen the other though

They're still polluting the 313 too -33092 today.So uncomfortable and unpleasant to travel on.

I share your confusion. It seems quite bizarre.
It seems like only yesterday AZ was set to go virtually completely d/d, now the MAN's are taking over routes like the 216, which I would have thought would be too busy for MAN's.
I do know all the Stockport MAN's X reg and older were supposed to be leaving, so they're obviously 'clearing the decks' by loaning them to AZ. They'll be replaced by the 11 reg Enviro200's when they return from London I suppose, but it may be standing room only on some routes for a while.

At least we can console ourselves that 33174 has gone, albeit only to AZ (so Manchester is still lumbered with it!) One more time of the door slamming against the front of the bus on opening would have driven me crazy.

So the 11 reg Enviro200's are being replaced with X reg MANs?
