Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
On paper, 33875 (40 seat MCV) is the replacement for 47559, though no doubt other darts from the reserve fleet are also seeing use.

With regards to why 47559 is such a pig - it probably has a problem/fault that manifests itself elsewhere, and it's just a case of the root cause not being identified yet (even although it has been years).
As it's only 7 years old I can't see it being scrapped quite yet - and the fact that it has had a replacement engine should not be held against it, as this is a semi-regular occurence with most vehicles.
