18364 and that is all i know at the mo' and i got it from the bosses mouth

My guess would be that 18364 will go somewhere different to the other 3 as there must be a reason a younger one is leaving as well. Wonder why they have picked 18364.

something which has been bugging me for a while, finally got a pic today!

4794531402_6309b092aa.jpg


is it "000" or "ooo"??? other depots have full size "000"'s on, but Lillyhall's rear flip dots on Solo's and 34616 appears to be the letter o rather than number 0.


:lol: that'll be a font issue on the rear blind that :lol: carnt remember if we had that at Chorley, it would'nt have looked like that though :D

17017/17018/17019 and a 55" plate and the ones that are staying are getting full repaints.

:) 17017/17018 are due to leave to join us at Chorley after re-paint, i'm sure they have been well looked after, i'm assured they are both really excited about coming to their new home down the M6...;)

They have been looked after should be fine for you :) I wonder where the other 2 are going.

It will be the 17xxx(S8?? BWC) tridents never seen them put the L.E.D blinds in so quick 2 in 2 weeks with 17018 the last to do.

Spotted that in Preston today on the 40, nearly jumped out to get a shot of it in rollers whilst it still had them, but some passengers came on and blocked me, by then i was due out and the next 125 was behind...

I'm guessing the limit is about 15 years? In which case the Tridents will only be around for 4 years lol (assuming they are S reg's). I'm not sure how happy you're going to be when they turn up lol.

As Chorley's schools are GMPTE ones, then you would be guessing right!:lol:

Sounds about right, hopefully our remaining ones will turn up by the end of August. Is it me or have SC invested even more in new buses this year...They haven't published their orders this year so its hard to compare.

good stuff! lets just hope they behave themselves without any problems like those seen in other areas. Will be interesting to see which Oly's will go :( (oldest first no dowt)

If they go, you still have 4 Leylands that could disappear...

Just read back and you said Olys which could mean Leylands SORRY!!

Have to remember that we have 16447 and 16734 as well as the four R---NBV's. Apparently MAN E300's are to be used as low floor replacements for when Scania's are off service, I'll believe that when I see it. Lillyhall needs a spare low floor decker to cover for the Scania's. ;)

The three speed box would be the death of it :roll: 18364 could be handy at LL.

You now I was thinking that 18364 could go to LL. I think 18326 has a tacho so would make more sense to send that lol or one of KL's. It'll be interesting to see where 17019 and 18364 end up.

Further details on the Harrington roadworks has emerged and council has confirmed shuttle service;

"the council has since agreed to fund a free half-hourly shuttle bus for Harrington residents to and from Workington. The buses will run between 8am and 5.30pm.
The number 30 and 31 buses between Maryport and Whitehaven, through Workington, will be diverted via Lillyhall"

Meanwhile, the no entry restriction at the Falcon Street end of Workington’s Station Road which was only access to buses is expected to be lifted on Monday - same day as when harrington closes so expect build up of traffic, again!
