The competition happened a week ago, but was reported today in the M.E.N. and also mentioned in the East of M60 blog.
Stagecoach driver Daniel Wilton, from Stockport depot, has come overall 3rd in Bus Driver of the Year competition, also winning Best Newcomer and Best Stagecoach driver awards, giving Stagecoach Manchester their highest position.
Two other drivers, Dmitrij Potapcik and Michael McManus, came 23rd and 52nd.

For a start 17164/5 are only there as spares donors.
Another error I've just found on it. They say 19119 (MX07HNC) transferred there in 2008, but it's still at Ashton and as far as I'm aware there are no plans for it to move anywhere else.
RE: Stagecoach Manchester - mbonwick - 21/09/2012 21:52
No, that's correct.
Vehicles at Ashton jump from 19118 to 19120.
19119 is indeed with Devon, though its reg is MX07 HND.
RE: Stagecoach Manchester - ace - 21/09/2012 22:03
Looks like just a typo in that case then.

Well to admit ive seen 19004 but ive looked here http://www.busenthusiast.webspace.virginmedia.com/fleet/stagecoachsouthwest.pdf and it gives the impression they are already there unless 19004/6 are still awaiting transfer
Seen 06 reg MAN 22392 on the 237 this evening
On the subject of the 236/7, don't what's going on but it's a bloody joke.
Finished work at 2 in Glossop, waited over an hour for a bus back to Ashton, and considering it's supposed to be a 20 min service now it's pretty poor.
I know there's some minor roadworks going on in Glossop town centre, but High Peak and Stotts seemed to be running pretty much to time.
Then after 70 mins waiting, a 236 and 237 turn up together.

19119 is down there and as been for a few years MX07 HND HNC is 19118 which is still at Ashton

19004/6 were reported as heading down to Devon, found this on Flickr a few minutes ago, this wasn't reported as one of the ones going.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester - Metroline1511 - 22/09/2012 21:11
As there are a few ex-London Tridents at Stockport now, including examples on routes 22 and 378 yesterday afternoon, it seems these will displace some MANs. I reckon these could be a stop-gap measure until Hybrid Enviro400s for route 192.

On the same set of photos, 19008 appears to have arrived in Exeter, so it looks like that one may have gone instead of 19004.
