Plus given that the Magic routes run through the city centre and are quite flat routes they could probably go for green bus funding so it wouldn't be that much of jump.

Also don't forget that First are adding wifi to all their buses this year so this could could be a thorn in Stagecoach's eye where Wilmslow rd is concerned.

The newest Magic Buses are the two ex-Mayne Presidents, MX03KZN/P.

And if Stagecoach expand the wifi on hybrids programme to all buses, then its even. But it would be good to see Tameside's Dennis Arrow have Wi-Fi if it's not withdrawn, or those Marshall Darts, which would take my mind off them cosntantly being at risk of breakdown.
