History

New to Stagecoach Manchester in 2005, 18312 had a relatively uneventful life besides being put in to a Manchester United football team advertisement in 2006. She moved to Stroud depot in around 2009 and was given dual branding for the 93 & 46 routes from Stroud to Gloucester. In around 2018 she was given new dual branding for the 63, and was given another football advert for the Forest Green Rovers on one side. She moved to Bristol in around 2019, having a brief time in Swindon running RIAT 2019 shuttles before fully moving to Swindon in around 2021 due to the CAZ being introduced in Bristol. She would be withdrawn in 2024 and placed in reserve at Bristol where we would purchase her for preservation.
