Interesting to read the ex-Glenvale solo's are going, can't say I'm complaining. Sad to hear about 21003/7 withdrawn though :(

Today
17017, 17022, 17024 on 2/2A
21004, 20547 on X1
20546 on 41
21005, 22806, 22809 on 3/4
14196 on sainsburys bus.

Is 47249 off the road at the moment, I haven't seen it out for a while?

47249 has been off with electrical problems.
The B10B's are oddballs in the fleet.

Got a picture of 14208 on the 1550 81B, I'll upload it later.

Seems strange to give 20451 a hannover, unless it's not going be be withdrawn this time round. Same for 14196 (although that does need one!)

I hope 14258 heads to Kendal to replace 14248, that would be quite a sensible move.

With regards to Chorley/Preston and the Tridents;
The first 7 numerically (up to 18144 IIRC) have gone/are heading to Barrow for the 6A to replace B10Ms.
The rest are off to Preston for the Coastliner services, sending Volvo Olympians elsewhere.
16325/6 moved to Barrow
16327 is currently "spare" in reserve
16328 at Kendal
16351 broken at Morecambe (supposed to be for Carlisle)
16647 Lillyhall, though ISTR it's intended for elsewhere.
16648 rotted chassis, Morecambe

There's definitely some I've missed off there.

20463 is taking the place of 20451 to be withdrawn and also 16877 replaced 14204.

So 20451 is staying and 20463 is going? Seems logical enough to fit a hannover then.

The B10Bs are bad at all IMHO, just different and small in number.

I'm guessing that Captain chaos, was on duty this morning, as there were one or two odd workings.

Versa 25223 on 55's, later replaced by a MAN.
UID Trident seen near Carlisle Bridge, showning 3 University, at the same time there were also a Trident showning 2 University, and an MAN 2A University.

At about the same time there were a Solo on 40 Preston ?, well it had 40 showning on the back.

Trident 18365 on short workings 3's this afternoon.

He sure was I'm busy slaving over the laptop getting next months Trident sorted. The solo works the relief to the 8 o clock 40 as far as Garstang, and then relief to the 0755 ex Preston as far as Lancaster

My word, I must be a mind reader! (OK that's not true, I know the Trident is due for publication soon, and Gez wasn't on duty....)

Sorry, but i got no idea. Our only hope is either Ex Nat Ex Mark or Dave the Bus to spot them back in service!

I will keep my eyes peeled and let you know when they are up and running again - although I went round both Deepdale and Frenchwood yesterday and there was no sign of them at all.

Did wonder though, what will Stagecoach do about the electronic blinds they have put in some of the Preston Bus vehicles. I know they have done at least 1 Olympian and 1 Lolyne, and several of the 52 plate Solos have had them fitted, will be interesting to see if they are removed before 15 March.

As mentioned earlier, if A33MRN has been sold, wonder what they will sent to PBus as a replacement, and I supppose the same stands for some of the metro Riders that have been sold since the sale last year - probably a chance for Stagecoach to off load some of its old stock, just like they did when they sold of Burnley & Pendle to Transdev.

They could be in Preston just not in service perhaps?

So much has happened in such a short space of time lol. RIP 14204 now its finally gone! Good news about the solos. I doubt it will be a swap I think it may be more likely Blue Bird getting new buses and us getting their solos just because our solos are past their best.

Interesting about 20451 and 14196 getting Hanovers. 14196 sticking round for a little while yet :)
