caption_attribution_description: English: Stagecoach Manchester bus 15191 (reg. M691 TDB), a late 1990s Dennis Dragon double-decker with Duple Metsec bodywork, pictured in St Peter's Square, Manchester city centre. It's branded for and operating one of the company's low-cost Magic Bus routes, the 143 to Piccadilly bus station. It's a high capacity tri-axle bus, one of a fleet of 20 such buses originally delivered to Stagecoach's operation in Kenya but imported to the UK a short while later. See Second-hand Kenyan tri-axle buses imported to the United Kingdom for full details.
