Stagecoach North West Discussion

[Chris26584]

So could be X61, X2 68... or a few of them actually.

Like Gez, im inclined to comment until its public knowledge (which at the moment its not), I don't think any changes have been yet submitted to VOSA, but answers on a postcard until then!

16847 (M491 ASW) and 16848 (M492 ASW) have both appeared at Carlisle, from Stagecoach in Fife. 16847 has a flip dot, and 16848 currently still has its LED unit. neither of them have an operators license in at minute. any ideas if they're staying in North West, or just passing through?

47474 is not at Lillyhall.

AFAIK, It is still in storage at CE, awaiting to go to Optare for work... But... I could be wrong!! :roll:

 

[Dallamlad]

The first of the four Scania E400's has apparently arrived at Carlisle!



They aren't going into service until all four are here and have been route branded, I think a September launch is more than likely!

Guessing they will be branded at CE? Guessing the other 3 wont be far behind!!!

Not sure about that. I think LL did the TransCumbria branding on the B7's.

It appears that Cumberland Lad has beaten me to this!

Both said the same thing lol! Be a good reason for them being there I'm sure although I can't think why haha. Maybe just easier to take it there then LL pick it up?

I imagine a driver will go through as a passenger on 300 to pick it up. Or something like that anyway

Does anyone know how this happened? http://cumbrianbuses.fotopic.net/p66270499.html

 

[cainebj]

rather impressive
wonder if it will finally be repainted now, and have its legals and fleetnames changed!

 

[Cumberland Lad]

[rosswatson]

It had an argument with a wet road, a sharp bend, and a ditch, and lost! Luckily it was not in service at the time, the driver escaped serious injury.

Yeah, that could of been nasty! Hopefully it will get a full repaint

 

[mbonwick]

Slightly excessive speed also being a factor, I guess...

Anyway, should be back out soon! Given the state of Olympians elsewhere, it's needed!

I can honestly see the ex-Fife M regs being for us the way things are going, even if only as stop-gap measures.

Still dead then, for a while longer then! I do hope that the marshall dart don't sneak back into service

Okies, whoever it is, they will have the pleasure of saying 'here is a first pic of LL Scania'

 

[mbonwick]

My money is on one of Carlisle's resident snappers, or even Gez if he goes up there for any reason!

33169? It is still in the garage, probably being prepared for standby! (just incase) .

Yes, 33169 i can't remember if it was a 'good-ish' one. One of them hissed and one was very LF when it knelt xD

Hope the scanias are looked after, better than the E300's

Maybe? I reckon one of LL's resident snappers!
Could even be Flickr's "sarewakjubilee", who is also an LL resident snapper!

Growing in numbers..! There was two other spotters in Workington on Saturday. :roll:
