Stagecoach Manchester Driver Training 22398 - MX06 LUH

            Walking out of the Musuem of Transport to go and grab lunch, this is not quite the MX06 trainer I was hoping to see, but given how I originally thought these were all being withdrawn under Bee Network Tranche 3, I'll take it! Cor, haven't seen one of these in years! Its coming up to around six years since Hull's MAN Alexander ALX300s were withdrawn from service in favour of new stock, however Manchester are still running a handful as driver trainers from its various depots to this day. Manchester was once populated with 163 of these, 27 of these from this 2006 batch, potentially making it the second-largest in the country after Stagecoach North East. Good to see one of the latter making it into preservation, but what about buying one of the Manchester types? I'd say they're fairly iconic, if not a bit fiddly vehicles here, too.

One of a now-rare type within the Stagecoach Group seen rather unexpectedly (twice!) in driver training service, Stagecoach Manchester's driver trainer 22398, a 2006 MAN 18.220 Alexander ALX300, is seen heading back along Queens Road at the end of a driver training run to the similarly-named Queens Road depot.
