The Trident could have been one of KL's as I think all ours are accounted for...

That would mean that one of the 2004 Tridents for Barrow has been fitted with an LED....
The one in the shed is for Barrow as its an 04 plate.
The one in the shed is for Barrow as its an 04 plate.
the one in the shed matches up to number 18144, which, IIRC, is the last of the 7 in the series to go to Barrow from the PX04 Trident's.
the one with LED's looked to be heading back to wherever it came from! there was a few driver's sitting on it, possibly being taken into City Centre before it took flight on the Motorway.
one other thing i forgot to say before, a few buses on Carlisle - Barepot 300 have been showing "Workington 300".
and one other thing, there was a 67 / 68 branded Dart on 600 later on this afternoon! it looked to have came into City Centre from Upperby and went straight onto 600.

52626 in Carlisle with branding for 685 (this is my picture).
Just been reading through posts from past few days, and there was one about 3 newer B10M's moving away from Barrow, leaving K reg's in service there. the thing with that, is the K reg's they're keeping are seatbelted for school use. they are also tacho'd. the buses supposed to be leaving with the 7 Trident's going in are 20301, 20755, 20756, 20758, 20760, 20762 and 20778. it will leave 20780 (Laurel & Hardy), 20786 and 20787 as the K reg B10M's. other B10M's remaining in Barrow should be 20107 (still don't understand why it got sent there! it was dodgey at Lillyhall before it went to Carlisle before Barrow!), 20477, 20478 and 20896.

Yeah, very shiny http://www.flickr.com/photos/transliner/4312246312/sizes/l/
Although, it sounds somewhat expired, to say the least. :roll:
There's going to be some good photo opportunities around Preston over the coming months

47007 on Maryport town services 57/57a/56 today,
I was behind it, climbing up shipping brow off the promenade earlier, it was awfully slow, and was screaming like a banshee! (it is a bad hill though!)

Not much so far today. 20463,20546 and 20795 on X1 normal Tridents on the 2a.
Saw 18363 heading dead through Greaves, then turn around at the pointer roundabout and head back through Greaves then turning off at Booths into Hala. Not sure what he was doing but it was on the 2a later on.
Past by the depot this afternoon and could only see one B10M (magic bus) and a few deckers stored on the back fence as well as a Versa.

it seems Manchester aren't getting on too well with their MAN powered Enviro 400's!!! apparently the steering is pretty heavy, turning circle is rather big, and pretty underpowered!!! 1 has been off service with a problem with the oil tank, and apparently just under 10 of them off service on Wednesday with various faults!
i wonder if Stagecoach will be buying any more of them...

Ahhhhhh OK lucky you!
16328 will be in need of chassis welding as per 166xx no doubt...
Had 18374 coming home, I've never seen a Kendal bus so clean! All the seats in good condition, all the seat back were fine, there was no litter and the grab poles were newly painted.

Lancaster routes back to normal after 1300
47249 back on the road, worked the 0938 7 Vale and the 08 and 38 rest of the day.
Look out for some more new buses in the north of area by Easter, not saying what that will be a suprise but they are a bit special

Who knows I can't think of anything at all.
would be nice for Carlisle to get new stuff!
Citi Darts can be a bit small capacity-wise! there's also the pretty much knackered Mini-Dart's that could do with being replaced!
it'd be even nicer if it was new stuff for the Lake District routes! Plaxton Beaver 3's with wheelchair lift at back nearside would be nice!

By about 14.30 there was a bus jam in George Street, due to the builders having three wogans parked in Spring Garden Street, which buses could not get pass.
The side destination display on 47249 was reading E Estate
