Old buses help out in Manchester

Stagecoach Manchester have now received 12 'Alexander Alx400' bodied 'Dennis Trident' buses. The Alx400's aka Tridents have entered service due to a rise in passenger numbers around Manchester, this is because there is a new free bus pass for 16-18 years olds. These buses originally came from other depots outside of Manchester, for example; 18325 was in service in Cumberland, 18413 was in service in Peterborough and 18442 was in service in Gloucester. These buses are in passenger service running for most Stagecoach Manchester depots.
