Stagecoach Manchester

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
The changes leaflet promises that the new buses for route 76 will have a distinctive livery. Maybe I am being suspicious here, but last Saturday I saw some Stagecoach Enviro400s on Olympic duties in a red livery with blue and orange Stagecoach swirls.

As recently as Thursday routes 383 and 384 were still MAN operated. I even saw a 378-liveried MAN on route 197 yesterday afternoon. Today I saw an Enviro400 on route 384. Whethe this is a Saturday or one-off working, or the start of a reversion to Enviro400s, is unclear.

I am pleased about the forthcoming simplification in bus stands at Stockport bus station.
