Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
40660 was in 'active' service this morning on the Glossop 390. It was replaced just before 12pm by 47472 which I'm guessing had come direct from another depot as the drivers had only just changed over when it turned up.

47472 is a Stockport bus

I saw them last week together running on 'zero' numbers down Hyde Road, Gorton. Not sure if they were on their way to or from service, or just being tested, but they are definitely still around.

might have been taken to Charles st which stores a lot of out of use buses

Yep im guessing it came directly from Stockport over to Glossop as it was driven by a fitter.

Looks like 47472 was provided as the 'broken down bus replacement service'. :-)

That sounds most likely. Probably getting them ready for use during the Olympics.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Due to vandalism presumably?
