I think it is just in Gillmoss for maintenance at the moment, not aware of it having any major issues or losing its livery etc

Another repaint into the new livery though is MAN 24178

Light up, light up as if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice.
I'll be right beside you dear.

Seems like 24123 is having issues, driver had to suddenly stop on Erskine Street with hazards, then proceeded to the Royal and stopped again

Christmas Day routes operated as usual today

Mainly Enviro300s or Enviro400MMCs however the 44 had Dart 34811, H2 Solo 47620 & H3 Solo 47709 (oldest bus in service in the UK on the day?!)

Was very unusual to see the 201 operated by an E400MMC, a service usually ran by a Click minivan!

Think I might've seen 34811 coming out at Gillmoss before midday today, but it could've been another Dart as i did notice it had headlights on, none of Stagecoach were tracking at all except for a route in Manchester that runs between the city and Manchester Airport.

34811 was only Dart that went out so it will have been that

24152 is showing on bustimes having not been out since 21st October but showing as painted in the Specialist livery (Green), is this correct if so does anyone know what it is for?

That is an error, last time I noticed it it was parked up on the back wall at Gillmoss, still in beachball livery!

I'll have a look tomorrow if I can to confirm it is still there.

On the repaint front, 24182 is now repainted and 24175 has gone for repaint.

What is the purpose of "Stagecoach Specialist" livery anyway?

This would be for services that operate for a specific purpose, so the likes of sightseeing and Uni contracts (e.g. the EL1 for Edge Hill Uni). Provided that there isn't already a dedicated livery being used.
