In doing so, illustrated that the 15 regs are well scattered route wise. bearing in mind all 9 workings on the 600 were seen, this was how the newies were deployed:
27229 - not seen
27230 - 621/8
27231 - 600
27232 - arrived in Bus Station c.1400 and parked up out of service
27233 - not seen
27234 - 621/8
27235 - 625/6
27236 - 621/8
27237 - 600

I also had a couple of hours in Wigan, but this was last Wednesday 2nd. I saw all 9 of the new Enviro300s, again a varied allocation though the 658 was a clear winner.

540 27229 and 27236
598 27231
625/626 local 27237
658 27230, 27232, 27234 and 27235
27233 was parked in the bay on the road at the side of the Bus Station ( Hallgate ) all the time I was there. Took me a while to notice it - not readily visible from the Bus Station.

So none on the 600 ( a fair number of the acquired 223xx MANs were evident on this route along with 27207 ). 27208 was also on the 540.
