How did the poor drivers who brought them up here get back? Or were they Wigan drivers? If this was Twitter.... #longday!

Seemed to be Devon drivers, the driver of 17005 when driving in and seeing a couple of us getting pics kindly let us know there were 9 in total....in an unmistakeable west country accent....a white minibus followed the last one in so presumably their vehicle home.

They didn't waste much time getting going then. I thought it would have been at least Monday before any of them hit the roads, by the time they'd been checked over, etc.

Do Stagecoach Manchester drivers drive all the routes or do drivers tend to stay on certain rotas and only drive a couple of e routes?

Will have to check, but I think 953 could be one of the ones Chorley have been operating since Monday.

They will drive all routes, this is why when people say do you know where ***** street iz they are very likely to say no.
