Ahhhh so the first B10B has moved. I wonder what its doing up there...

Noted yesterday:

The conductor at the underpass has started getting people on buses even faster by directing pass and return ticket holder to the right of the doors and others to the left. When everyone's boarded he shouts to the driver how many Uni passes and how many returns. Works well and makes it all a lot faster!

Noted Yesterday

18328 on the 55a going on to work a 42.
16666 on 40
16667 on 81B
22804/09 on 2/2a
20451/63 on 55
16663 on 55a
18362 on Sainsbury's bus
20795 on 49
51 plate solo on a short 3

Not seen much today..

Also as I was coming back up the motorway today between Preston and Lancaster spotted two deckers all in red heading South. At first I assumed they were from Heysham heading down to London but they didn't look brand new and one had an advertisement on the side.

Spent the day in Leeds today (First country) and got sick of only seeing Gemini's lol :lol:

Yes it was Andy. I imagine the Morecambe driver took 21007 up and brought 22721 (or whatever one was being painted) back down.....

18355 still sounding terrible on 1520 555 and 18366 on 0705 556, both for the 2nd day running. 18366 has got some rather severe interior damage, pics to follow.

So? Doesn't mean that 21007 has just arrived at CE, could have been tucked out of the way for a while....

To be blunt, I have no idea :D

Good point I just assumed someone would have noticed by now. Plus the chap who brought 22721 down then went off to Blackpool to pick a coach up I think so I assumed he wasn't ME :)

I haven't seen it until today, it was parked on the back fence so unless it was in the shed i would have thought it has arrived today. But who knows.

Apparently Magic Bus NC bodied Olympains 16004/5/6/7 have disappeared from Hyde Road where they were in reserve. Anybody know where they have gone?

Also spotted a K reg Optare Delta Preston bus training vehicle heading toward Morecambe at 9am this morning. There was a driver and an instructor (I assume) on board. An SC training vehicle was a few cars ahead. Here's a pic (not mine)

http://www.davidsnonrailwaypics.fotopic.net/p53161996.html

Its ex Blackpool Transport and was purchased by PB in Feb 2008. Its full reg is K128UFV.

17019/20 on 2a.
20131, 20540 and 20795 all seen on the X1.

47061 and another Solo with LED on a Moorclose Circulars.
33169 and 47062 on Harrington & 101. 47005 was on as well, but was pulled off service. didn't see what went on instead of it.
20763 was on annexe earlier with 37 on display.
20195, 35246 and another 56 reg Dart on Maryport - Barepot 30. didn't see the 4th vehicle.
20735 on 100.
16447 on Whitehaven - Workington 300.
20944 on Carlisle - Barepot 300.
20761 on X5.

some drivers are STILL having problems with displays!!! well, either they can't program a display for the route they're on, or they can suddenly make a bus fly over the river!
i say this, because 35246 had Thornhill 30 on the displays when it was at Barepot, after coming in from Maryport! the driver went down with Thornhill on, turned around, parked up, then got off for driver change.

I noticed it has had it's LED removed and an old bright-tech put back in.

its LED has been put into NC bodied 16634, with 16634's old bright tech shoved in to 20130, ready for it to leave Stagecoach after its finished at Lillyhall in Summer :)
