Well if they are going to have any work done at all i.e repaint, re-trim, LED then it'll be after the Olys are done and I suppose the Tridents lol. But maybe they wont get work, they may be moved on within the next few years.
B10M's recently transferred from Manchester and ones moving around the region will be taking priority at minute in workshops, along with Oly's coming back from chassis inspection. after that, i have no idea what will happen lol. suppose it'll depend on other transfers happening later on, if anything shabby comes to NW, which is usually does!

it'll be the same LED that it had at Kendal and Gillmoss, just set up a little differently. IIRC, those darts have LED displays made by Bright Tech Developments, who have now ceased trading, as opposed to the Hanover Displays ones more commonly found in Stagecoach buses.

I agree, I always liked the Darts. I think the Dennis Dart/Plaxton Pointer were the better quality buses the Transbus Pointers seemed to lack something and didnt seem as solidly built.
Great to see 30281 gone and Lancaster is now a free B6 zone again after a 5 year infection lets hope they see the light and convert them into bean cans as soon as possible. As far as I can remember all the B6s were horrible things to drive but if I was forced to choose 30277 was the better of MEs allocation.
Not seen much out of the ordinary recently, although 22721 was on the A6 late last night around 01:00 heading for Lancaster 'Dead'

Only thing I could think of was the short working late night 40 from Preston to Garstang but I would have thought this was covered by the outstation drivers, or possibly had been in Preston for the day if any extra or shuttle buses had been run for Rock in the park festival in Avenham park.
will have most likely been the X8. Chorley & Preston - Central Lakes :-P
it leaves chorley at 0920, going to Preston for around 0950, then comes up to Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick.
the X7 runs the same on thursdays, but only goes as far as Grasmere.
