Manchester still have a small number of 57 plate E400s, 114 08 plate E400s, 74 58 plate E400s, 49 09 plate E400s, 6 59 plate Cummins E400s and the 20 59 plate MAN engined E400s not meeting the Euro6 requirements and are older than their hybrids on their latest fleet card, so I wouldn't pin any hopes on taking hybrids away from them any time soon.
