I remember I’d go out and I would see it all the time. Sometimes, I tried getting away from it only to turn up at the interchange and see it on the 9 or the 38.
Doesn't have to be limited to buses; trains can count too.
5213 stalked me on a regular basis when it was Purple.
Lost track of how many times it turned up, no matter what time of day it was, what direction I was heading in or which variant of the 20 I was needing.
I noticed that once it went spare, it still liked taking me places.
Currently, it's the ex-SR Barbie sets that Heaton have. Literally can't get away from them. It's primarily 156 465 which follows me about, but they don't seem fussy.
I'd say its getting on 8 or 9 times since the New Year and it's been on various bits of track across the region. I tend not to use Northern as much as I used to, but when I do, it tends to be a Barbie. It even broke down on me at the end of February!
There's been others, but non as stand out as those.

I moved to Manchester 10 years ago and eventually ended up in Moston where it cropped up again taking me to work under ownership of Bluebird and eventually Stagecoach.
I also lived in South Manchester for a bit and commuted into town with Finglands, occasionally on an ex London B7 which eventually ended up under GNE operation. Never caught one back in the NE but funny how things come back around.
