Unfortunately, I've not seen much myself recently, especially as HE hybrids are rare on services east of the city centre - during the daytime at least.
Another question mark that has arisen - albeit I think its probably because its not an overnight "project" and its Wigan depot that's involved (not often reported upon amongst my contacts), are the transfer of Enviro300s from Scotland. We know 22582/3/7 are there and already in service, but it is reported 22521/86 have also made the journey South. Earlier reports suggest (at least) another three due, but I don't suppose anyone knows their identities or when they will be coming? I'm not sure whether Half Term in Scotland coincides with NW England, which would have offered an oppurtunity to make the moves whilst PVR is reduced.

12017 & 12022 still showing on the Oxford P6 fleetcard.

The ex Oxford Hybrids are becoming more common on the road now following a tidy up. Routes 15, 255 and 256 seem to be the main place to find them.

12024 was on the X57 this morning and 12026 was on it yesterday. I have also seen 12015 and 12019 on it recently.

Must be confusing for passengers on the 50 this week, as some drivers have been running direct via Princess Street towards East Didsbury while others have been going via King Street, York Street and Portland Street.

Several of Ashton's MMCs have now gained route branding, front side and rear, for the 330 extension. Dosen't look brilliant as it kind of blends in with the adverts on the sides for new film Arrival?? But ironically anyone that knows AZ workings will know everything very often interworks and yesterday one of the route branded MMCs was on 236's. Not sure if it was the same MMC or a different one but also noticed one leaving Ashton on a 231 late afternoon.

Just read on another forum that 17612 is officially up for disposal according to the latest fleetcard.
Quite surprised by this as I was told not long ago that plans were being made for it to enter preservation rather than it being sold on/scrapped.

If only I had a bigger driveway
