Bloody well hope not - we've got enough Loliner's here to run a 5 minute service on the 171... besides, some of the S***TRJ ones are actually quite nippy.

And, in other news, 10000 was seen this morning at 09:07 on the


*yawn*


192s...

again, as usual.

Yep. Great runner during the Olympics, transferred to Cumbria and sadly met its fate in a fire.

Oh? I thought most of them were in the departure lounge at Charles Street?

22819 was on the 203 this morning. So either Stockport ran a board on it, or it has moved or been loaned to Hyde Road.
Strange to see a MAN on the 203, usually an all D/D route.

MX62GBO hybrid was in the lower garage at Sockport this afternoon.

Counting down the hours before the big hybrid launch on the 192 assuming a 5am start Sunday morning, I make that just over 33 hours to go.

In HE's yard we have the following 192 Hybrids;

12180 - MX62GAO
12182 - MX62GCK
12183 - MX62GDF
12184 - MX62GEJ
12185 - MX62GEK
12188 - MX62GFY

Not entirely sure the registrations are correct - can't read my own handwriting as they were hastily scribbled down...

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Wonder whether MX62GBO is 12181 then...
