Numbers are now being decimated by poor punctuality (not mcts fault - a slightly unrealistic timetable and the roadworks on the M56 are killing it off)

Yes originally brought in for use on the X5, but then strangly when the 237 first went to MCT the running boards for that stated that long darts/Enviros should be used but within the first couple of weeks the journeys went from stand alone 2 bus working to a complicated interworking where it will do a trip both ways on the 237, then do some very tight Ashton circulars then do a 389 both ways there just too big to run on some routes - I suspect it will be the same in Stockport with the X5's.
