What's prompted that shuffle round then? I assume darts are going in the opposite directions as was mooted a while ago?

Yes both of those 2 are back now.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
It does seem Wigan are getting a bit of a raw deal here, losing 9 of their good MAN's and getting 9 that are 5 years older in their place.
Hyde Road are also losing 2 of their 09 reg's and getting a 56 reg in their place, but I presume this will be cascaded anyway once the hybrids arrive, so they're probably not too bothered about that.

Indeed one such instance has already occurred, with 33868 leaving Middleton for Stockport a couple of weeks ago.

What you don't know ?, It something to with trying to keep all the consecutive numbers together, I believe.

Also, I believe that the new E400H's are due to start arriving, which are un-likely to see service before January.
