As regards 219, I don't know about operating depots, but I don't see that many hybrids on Aytoun Street on weekdays, and when in Picc for about 45 minutes the other Saturday, I saw about four consecutive diesel workings (all HE) with the 216 a mix of hybrids and diesels.

I couldn't remember if the 183 was before I after the bluebird takeover so thanks for clarifying that.

I caught a 216 into town on Sunday at about 3pm and it did seem like most workings in the opposite direction were by Hybrids. It's strange though as obviously the hybrids do seem to wonder onto the 216 but it's still quite rare to see them on other AZ services on a Sunday.
