Back of the timetable states that the vehicles used will be hybrids provided by TfGM. Interesting to see if that will be case from day one or if the hybrids arrive at a later date.

I presume it will be a couple of the new Hybrids mentioned a couple of posts above which should be here at the end of summer.
It will be interesting to see what MCT use on the 159/395/396 and also 169 in the mean time. I hope it's not the small bread vans that were used on the Oldham Metroshuttle before they got the Hybrids. Incidentally I spotted one of these minibuses last week in Ashton with 'Driver training' on the destination display. It seemed to be following the 396 and then an hour later the 169 so presumably it was drivers learning the route.

I would think the 169 will work off the 395/6 from Ashton.
