I actually caught 10466 this afternoon, and it thinks its a hybrid! About 4 times (in my 20 minute journey) it stalled, but each time the driver was able to restart it immediately. This was the only (HE) MMC I saw today, but my obs covered well over half of Hyde Road corridor workings. None amongst the (few) 15, 38, 250/X50 etc I saw either. In fact, two of the X50s were 19083/98 which is actually quite sensible as I believe these Euro3s are more "pokey" than the Euro4s, so it makes sense to run them where there is oppurtunity to reach 30 mph for long spells.

Are you sure it stalled and just does not have stop/start like 80027
