I wonder whether this Enviro400 was on loan to Rusholme, or whether Oldham will get some new ones to displace some 12-reg examples to Rusholme.

Which services are they supposed to operate? The 33 sees Volvo B10, Geminis and Streetlites and the 53 sees B10's, B7's and also seen a Streetlite on it.

I imagine the 88 and 89, as these often had B10BLEs on them. Mind you, on Tuesday evening I saw a Streetlite on route 18!

This is a pity, as I was hoping to ride an E40D on route 41 to Eccles, probably when I ride the forthcoming Metrolink Airport service.
