Nice timing, as I could ride one around Christmas on the same day as I ride Metrolink to/from the Airport for the first time!

I rode Trident 17175 on route 197 this morning! I didn't think these ex-London Tridents (apart from limited MagicBus repaints) ran central Manchester routes, just radial routes like the 22, 23, 168 and 169.

Another example is route 197, run mainly from Hyde Road instead of Stockport garage.
