New buses

Here are two new Enviro 200s delivered to Hyde road today. They will be going to Stockport when ready. There are a few differences than the last batch that went to Ashton. The most obvious being the Yellow wing mirrors. Always nice to see new arrivals coming to Manchester. Been working in town again today. Nice and steady week really with most of the kids being off. However with extra roadworks arranged next week around Ashton i'm sure the easy week will soon be over.

  6. Not seen 40312/47 around for a bit, 40356 seen back in Ashton on the 389 route, this time WITH pioneer legals, another possible transfer to pioneer. Wonder if 31917 is another one. Thanks for the info on 40324 mic! Greatly appreciated.

    1. 40356 was a Bolton bus with Bolton blinds, I caught it on the 510 from Bury to Bolton a month ago. Few darts were moved on elsewhere eg. 40370 to Pioneer and 40401 to Wigan, thinking it's possibly down to Bury depot that might be running the 510 now.

      Saw 40370 on the 389 2 day ago, doubt it has gone anywhere. Do you know anything on 31917 that is at Ashton at the Moment?
