Will these TfGM hybrids be the spares from the Manchester city centre shuttle routes?

They've gained ex Stagecoach 48801/2/3, can't remember regs off the top of my head. Ex-48801 is already in service.

Not heard what's happening with the redundant city centre metroshuttle hybrids or how many are actually redundant.

CCTV cameras and ticket machines were being fitted last night so these should be on the road pretty soon. I would imagine these will eventually have the branch livery applied similar to the two 67 plate Enviro200’s used on the X5/18.

From what I can gather the 391/392 rota includes the 247, so I assume these will be used on the 247 in the evenings.

When are MCT going to start route learning on the 391/392 anyone know?

Only a few weeks until they're due to take over so imagine they'll be learning soon.

Been out route learning last week and this week on 391/2 and 247. I did overtime on my rest days last week so I could cover a couple of drivers who wanted to learn them.

If I was them drivers I would say (blank) that it not like Selwyns can't find them other work ànd you have to be a really poor driver to not get an offer of employment from MCT so it not like they doing anything for you and does Selwyns drivers clean and fuel there buses like MCT?
