Paul Mcgill was driving the 1256 6A today.

I'm beginning to wonder if Kendal have divided their Tridents into 2 groups - schools and 555. It's just that I've not been on one with the ADL logos missing from the back of the seats in quite a while, and I can't imagine it's the sort of thing that would be replaced. [Actually, I know it isn't, Kendal were just filling the screw holes before]

How many 04 Tridents are left to paint? And when are the 6 due to arrive at Barrow?

Was there any sign of 16877 in CE Cainebj?

Interesting about the Tridents Mbonwick. I'm not sure whether they would actively split the group into two. Also not sure any more how many Tridents are used on schools daily along with the Leylands.

I guess the amount of Tridents KL use depends on availablity of other deckers.

I can't imagine it's something they'd do, but who knows...?

didn't see 16877, but the shed was kinda packed with all the school stuff and stuff not being used shoved in there. if it was in there, i'd guess it was at the side where the B10M's were.

47006 on 50, running 10 mins late.
34079 on 51, with a massive 1 passenger cos the 50 was running late.
33167 and 47005 on Harrington. 33167's display is knackered yet again. top half still has many random blocks, and it says "Blue Route" on it. boards in windscreen for Harrington.
16647 turned up, still with Stagecoach in Lancashire on the side. didn't see the legals.
20779 on X5.
drivers are still coming in on 30 / 31 with Workington on displays! then going down to the train station and Tesco! they should be showing "Workington Rail Station".
42025 was on annexe with 20757.
33169 on 101 again.

Thanks I'm sure that's been mentioned before on here but I couldn't remember.

Also if 13297 is going to be replaced why is it in paint prep? Is it going somewhere else?

i'd guess it was in there to get some sort of work done to it. a few weeks ago, 10728 was in there getting part of its windscreen replaced, so it could have had a smashed window or something.

Only reason I asked is I though the fleet number on the front looks SC and the blue interior plastic looked SC as well. But yeah if its not an ex SC area it will be one of the others

I assume the PB stuff is been checked in case it needs to move back to Preston or even when it moves back in the near future.

It may well be an ex-Stagecoach Trident. When SC sold their share in the London operations, the new owners sold some vehicles. (I think)

Is that A London bus?
Nasty. I can't read it because some arsewit has set it to resize my browser--not much good on a mobile phone screen!

havn't really saw much today!
16652 on 300.
20129 on Barkers Footbridge - Maryport 30.
22598 on schools.

drivers STILL showing "Workington 30" or "Workington 31", when it should be "Workington Rail Station". the excuse "the bus isn't programmed with it" isn't acceptable now, cos the bus i saw on my way from the train station is one i've saw plenty of times with Workington Rail Station on!

Spotted Preston Bus Leyland Lynx 27212 over the pits at LL this evening, first time it's moved since its arrival, watch this space!! Also one of the Metroriders has been moved to outside of the workshops.

Thats curious i had to jump start 14543 this afternoon but the battery pack wasn`t charged up to get it going.
