25222 escaped onto the 2a today, spotted in on Heyhsam road bound for Lancaster at 5.20

Yep, that'll be right, we spent all that money and time putting in loads of new panels, and getting it sparkling, only to ship it out for the summer and have someone else enjoy its freshness.. just hope it comes back somewhere near the condition its in now! on the other hand, you can keep 20794!!

Believe me it was enjoyable compared to what im usually used to with 20475/6!!!

 

[K777DAO]

20436 and 22600 on 301

I wonder if another Enviro will gain a tacho for this route... I know the '08 solos are supposed to be gaining them, but are a bit on the small side!

They may have already been done! Haven't had chance to have a nosey and see!

I'm back!!! Glad to be back in a place where buses keep to a timetable lol.

My word what a week to miss! It seems every things happened at once!!

Is that a permanent transfer? Not entirely sure if they need it!!!

KL seem to have issues with hanging onto anything. 16328 was moved to KL painted and had "in Cumbria" stuck in the side then put in storage and moved to Preston. 16185 was moved there now in Preston (one assumes its been transferred). They had darts then lost them to solos. It seems very odd lol.

Also 15680 had a little bump in Preston catching a bumper on the curb when the suspension was lowered I understand.

Sorry I meant 16184 to Preston

 

[andy 37]

There is a van with seats in Carlisle paint shop, with a fleet number on the defect card as 60009. I thought there was a bus with thes number at newcastle on the old Q1 and Q2 routes. The van is yellow and i think it is from liverpool. is this a correct fleet number or has the person who filled the defect card in incorrect.

 

[mbonwick]

KLs solos were an age upgrade compared to the darts.

I wonder if the loss of 16184 is indicative of a PVR drop at Kendal?

60009 is correct and it is from Merseyside. 60008 was written off with accident damage.

 

[K777DAO]

47023 sat in the bus station tonight for Workington Evening Services (guessing it has been out Maryport?)

It had!

Yes indeed they were but still a faff about lol. With ME losing 7 buses (apparently) and ME's PVR going up by two does this mean something with be drafted in to make up the numbers? Could that be why 20128 is coming down?

17023 on the 40 just now.

Any update on the status of the Versa's been built for the X12? I know the route has bee shelved or scrapped but what of the buses?

The first of the four Scania E400's is expected to arrive at LL on Friday for driver familiarisation.
Another MAN E300 will gain a tachograph machine in the near future for use on 300/301. (I have a feeling these will end up being de-branded)
I have been told on good authority that the 14*** Leyland Olympian's will be withdrawn once the Scania's arrive.
Also 16653 is unlikely to rejoin the LL fleet.

Good riddance to 16653 !!

 

[cainebj]

Closure of B5295 at Keekle for up to two weeks.

Would customers also please note that due to the above-mentioned road closure, we will be unable to observe our normal routes on services 31 and 31A from Monday 2nd August 2010, until further notice.

As a result of this, services will operate as follows:

31: The main through-route from Maryport to Frizington, will operate the normal route from Maryport to Whitehaven (bearing in mind the Harrington road works noted above), but will then operate from Hensigham along the A595 and A5086 in order to reach Cleator Moor, where the service will terminate. There will be connections at Cleator Moor Square for onward buses to Wath Brow and Frizington.

31A: This service will operate only between Whitehaven and Overend Road, Hensingham, with a special timetable. Customers for Cleator Moor and Fizington should use the main service 31 instead.

FULL TIMETABLES CAN BE DOWNLOADED BY CLICKING THIS LINK.
Stagecoach would like to apologise to customers for any inconvenience caused, however the situation is regrettably outside of our control.

Anyone heard anymore about 17017? No body at LL seems to know anything about it.

Its at Carlisle body shop

[Dallamlad]

Ah, thanks for that. It remains to be seen whether or not it will come to LL for service.

Seems strange that nobody at LL has heard about it!!! Glad to hear the Scans are on the way!

Something new to point a camera at!

I have been told on good authority that the 14*** Leyland Olympian's will be withdrawn once the Scania's arrive.

Massive shame :cry:, but they are 20 years old!hope they see further service with other operators...

Also 16653 is unlikely to rejoin the LL fleet.

Never really liked that one...
