Stagecoach North West Discussion

[Gez.SCNW]

22816 was used on the 1015 Ingleton and return , after 20547 developed a water problem
16661 was used on the 1350 and 1450 Haltons after I had to nick the Solo for the 1345 K. Lonsdale after 20133 developed a slight bodywork problem

I don't know who told you that but they are almost 2 years behind with their information!!
A twin axle Plaxton Panther was brought down from East Scotland about 18 months ago for route testing on the X4/X5's, but they were too big, they were also taken along the southern half of the 300 route, again they were too big, so they never came. I'm pleased to say that the Plaxton Profiles are here to stay.

I have heard from various sources that big changes are on there way on some W/Cumbrian services, I can't go into detail just yet, but, once the new bridge goes up, some services may not be as they were before the floods.

Hopefully the bridge will be up sooner rather than later, work has started After Saturdays wander out to the bus station etc, I can safely say that the majority of SC drivers looked even more depressed than I did this morning! Or maybe they where just happy to see me :roll:
I think all four Profiles were on the X5 today
And, that's about it!

I'm really surprised the Titans ahven't been collected yet.

I've certainly not heard of 16184/5 making it up here yet either...

20133 developed a slight bodywork problem

Is it me, or is that you playing down a rather large dent/scrape Gez?

Glad your back Gez don't seem to have seen you about for a while!

 

[Gez.SCNW]

Make the most of me I'm only here Monday, Tuesday this week, I'm sure that will brighten Kendal Kings week

 

[mbonwick]

^ What he [Dallamlad] said ^

Similarly, KendalKing has been avoiding me as well...

 

[KendalKing]

I'm back on the 8C's tomorrow!, and hopefully the rest of the week.

On the latest Stagecoach Manchester fleetcard is states that Volvo Olympians 16184 & 16185 [P484/5 HBA] have moved to Stagecoach North West. These were ex Bullocks vehicles. Has anyone seen them yet, or have I missed something?
Another Bullocks Volvo Olympian movement is 16190 [S960 URJ] to Highlands.

How do you get hold of the stagecoach manchester fleetlist now they have changed the website?
17019 was having it`s L.E.D blind fitted when i came back in this morning,47157 has had a engine fitted and the first solo to be withdrawn and i think 21007 has been reinstated as it was on the 6A`s this morning,while the rest of the B10B`s are in the yard parked up with 14204 and 14196.

In that case, i'm not looking forward to Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. But I'm looking forward to Saturday, when i start my Holidays.

 

[mbonwick]

21007 seems to bob in and out of "withdrawn" status...some day it isn't used and others it is.

Similarly, 20463 is still out and about.

Very to hear 17019 is been done

Do you know if we are defo getting solo replacements?

21007 was on the X1 all day as well

Has 14196 been withdrawn?

 

[mbonwick]

14196 was on what I assume must have been a 40 this morning, so no, it's still here. 16648 was supposed to replace it, until it fell apart.

14195 was on the 40 this morning, 14196 had not moved all day in the yard and 16648 is having chassis repairs done

I couldn`t tell you about the solos dallamlad. I`ve been reading comments about something new coming to ME, but if the boss has put in for new buses for the 40/41`s it cannot be that so i`m going for a long shot and i think magicbus might be coming up here but i may be wrong.

 

[Dallamlad]

We will have to see. The only reason I asked about 14196 is because it sounded like you meant it has been withdrawn by saying it was parked next to 14204 lol.

newer solos would be good Just to replace the oldies.

It was at an angle this morning behind recently repaired 21003 unless it is V.O.R.

 

[KendalKing]

Just been informed by my mother, that when she was on 20544 early that the driver was having problems with warning lights and buzzers constantly going off.

 

[Gez.SCNW]

That would be an over active sensor in the engine compartment.

 

[rosswatson]

I think we'll all be happy when the bridge is done.

Couldn't agree more! It's been a long time

 

[K777DAO]

^^^^^What Ross Said!!^^^^^

22809 Was on X1s all day on sunday and 21007 did one trip when i wnet for break dunno why was B10B on a sunday whem yard is full of buses

 

[Dallamlad]

I guess 21007 will be fully withdrawn when 22721 comes back...

Not much this morning.

18325/30/61/62/63/64 and others on the 2/2a.
Normal Versa on the X1 this morning
16668 on 940 Grammar School service.

Also 16877 was on the 2a just now. Rolled into the underpass and I thought I was gona get my first ride on it. However the driver took it out of service and ran dead to Bowerham to make up time leaving 22824 on the 2 to pick us up.

Also what's the PVR for the 40/41?

 

[jonesy3001]

14196 is V.O.R and now has a old hanover blind from an R-reg,16648 is to be scrapped and the PVR for the 40/41 is 8.
21007 is still on the fleetlist along with 20451 and 20463.

 

[Dallamlad]

Good lord that's quite a surprise! I had a feeling that 16648 wouldn't make it from what I'd heard we may get another NC from Manc to replace 14208.

Whats wrong with 14196? Glad to hear its had a Hanover

 

[jonesy3001]

Good lord that's quite a surprise! I had a feeling that 16649 wouldn't make it from what I'd heard we may get another NC from Manc to replace 14208.

Whats wrong with 14196? Glad to hear its had a Hanover

Awaiting parts

 

[Dallamlad]

Ahhhh OK, will be with us for a while then!!!

So if the 40/41 gets upgraded should get about 7/8 new deckers...

 

[Dave The Bus]

I did have a link off another group somewhere and it was in an obscure place, but i can't find it now..


Also, long story short, managed to snatch a couple of quick shots of 47754, not very good, but illustrates my earlier point.. 1 2

Aye someone managed to dislodge the grab rail by the wheechair space on 18361 and I had to take it our of service at 1224. 16877 was the only bus I had on station so on it went.

 

[cainebj]

[Dallamlad]

Oh that explains why I didn't see it earlier in the day! Its slowly growing on me lol.
