Stagecoach Manchester

RE: Stagecoach Manchester and Wigan
I did ask on another forum what's going to be running on 350/425 tender which is operating from Middleton Depot but was told that they weren't to sure just wait and see, I was hoping the odd MMC400 might drop onto the route.

One question I do have is why have Stagecoach rerouted 415 back to its old route (under Middleton Junction bridge)? Considering Middleton Depot is operating 415 route I would have thought it would have been easier to keep the current (Daytime) route as it passes right outside the Depot and would be easier for driver change overs.
