PS farewell planned for Stagecoach Manchester

摘要

On Saturday 14 November, Stagecoach Manchester will hold a Farewell to the B10M running day on service 192 (Hazel Grove-Stockport-Manchester), the route on which the once ubiquitous Alexander PS-bodied Stagecoach standard type first appeared regularly in Manchester. It is planned that the company's last two Alexander PS-bodied B10M-55S, 20982/3, will operate as extras on the 192, departing each end on the hour between 09.00 and 17.00 with all fares collected on the vehicles being donated to the Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention charity. The company's last two remaining step-entrance vehicles, which are normally used on Derbyshire school contracts, are scheduled to be withdrawn by the end of the year as the Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations 2000 (PSVAR) require all single-deck buses used on local bus services to be fully accessible and comply with the regulations from 1 January.
