Stagecoach Manchester

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
The 7 has a very mixed bag of vehicles on it. I've seen Enviro400's leave Ashton Stockport bound only for the next working to be a Solo.

From what I was told recently by an AZ driver it was always expected that the branded MMCs for 330 would regularly apear on other services, not only because of the way services interwork but also because the MMCs are under warrenty there going to and to use them as much as possible to iron out issues etc.
Apparently it was part of subsidy deal was that stagecoach would brand and 'widely advertise' the extended service, presumably once the subsidy ends, and possibly the extension, the branding will go.
