I have seen some not just on familiar Enviro200 routes 11/11a but also routes 314, 317, 374 and off-peak routes 322/27. Conversely, route 325 has mainly returned to MAN operation. I have seen MAN 22132 still in service this week, on route 22 for example.

Talking of route 22, I have seen some E40Hs off route 192 as well as E40Ds on this route on Saturdays recently. They tend to be just E40Hs on Sundays but MANs on Mon-Fri.


With Middleton having gained 12 E20Ds from Stockport, I suppose they must have ousted some ex-JPT stock. Does anyone know what they have replaced?

The Enviro200's have mainly replaced the older S and T reg MANs at Middleton although the JPT Wright bodied Volvo, along with the Olympian and president deckers have also been withdrawn and are stored at Hyde Road with only the Primo's and Enviro's remaining in service.
