There is a 62 Plate bus with a yellow rear advert 22130 with a Manchester advert that has been partly removed at the bottom and the First Eclipse one?

22130 is not a 62 plate bus.

X216 BNE on the X5 I think it's now operated from Stockport although I might not be right.

The 112 seems like a good opportunity to be coupled onto another route like the 250 or to some 203 services. South Mancester has the Airport, Universities, Trafford Centre and so on that will be a good chance for Stagecoach to get new customers.

Probably wouldn't have been good today given Man Utd's parade through the city. A lot of the 50s were delayed this afternoon, due to huge queues of traffic along Peter Street and Quay Street, due to the closure of Deansgate.

Heard about that sounds like a right pain, yet funny at the same time!

True, but one off events effect some services occasionally. I agree with Polo mint that there is scope for cross city services which would probably get Stagecoach extra customers as said above. It also removes the pain of stopping on Oldham St or Shudehill and travelling onward even to Oxford Road, Mosely Street etc.

Good job it didn't happen in the rush hour. That would have really done it with the number of buses that go through them lights to get out of Piccadilly Gardens Bus Station. It's chaos there at the best of times so a broken down bus blocking the exit and the road ahead for the traffic also would have been very popular with commuters
