At a guess i would say the Tridents are at AZ mainly for school's but will creep out onto normal services.

Im not too surprised to hear about AZ's Enviro200's cropping up at ST, and i wouldn't be too surprised if a few end up at ST for good. One the remaining MAN's go from AZ i would think Enviro200's will only be used on the 217/218 and 346's, and then on evening services like at present.

During summer reduction the 236/237 and 347 have mainly been double deck opererated, i would think with the extra vehicles transfered from Sharston they will probably stay d/d operated.

Have to say in the 3 years ive worked up in Glossop i dont think a Trident has ever been used on 236/237's, hopefully that will change

Just seen one of them 2 tridents on the 237 night trip go through hadfield, they have been used on the 236/7 before as I found this pic a while ago http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AzpqLjRiV3o/Sc...751638.jpg

Yep I'm well aware that they have been used in the past. The ex Mayne's were at AZ briefly in the 3 years I've worked up in Glossop it's always been MANs, Enviro200/400s and of course the trusty magic olympian.
Wish I'd known it was out in service tonight as wouldn't have minded a trip on one on that particular route.
