Volvo B10, K777 DAO / 20777 seen heading towards the M6 this afternoon with a non Stagecoach driver at the wheel.
Volvo B10, N790 VRM / 20790 has a new MOT, looks like it's ready to move on.
Also, H113 SAO / 14253 on service 555 to Kendal

might be going to fleetlink in staffordshire

 

[mbonwick]

20790 is only in reserve!

14253 will have been on the half hourly extra 555s.

 

[Mattdw92]

16654 went out on 3:45 50
went out on 4:15 50 as well with Sorry Not In Service

20790 is only in reserve!

PVR increase in Preston on them extended journeys to the college?
it might explain 20793's repaint as well!

16447, 16651 and 16652 on 300. one would assume the other was 16734 (with 16654 being in Workington doing catch up Moorclose Circulars).
20919 on 53. side and rear displays now in use!
20901 on Seaton.
20931 short 300.
20129 and 20473 on 30 and 31.
47616 and 47061 on Harrington. quite a few runs had standee's on them!!!
20910, 20923 and 20934 on SL Ltd Contract. 20910 may have went onto the annexe to work the half 6-ish 301 to Whitehaven.

Our next four Scanias showing for September 0t arrival I could tell you the regs, but cannot remember them aside from the PX60 bit

.........because 53336 has had a window smashed by some stone throwing yobbo!

It would appear that Reays are planning to run services between Sellafield - Carlisle and Sellafield - Barrow!
Sellafield - Carlisle http://www.reays.co.uk/PDF/130.pdf
Sellafield - Carlisle http://www.reays.co.uk/PDF/140.pdf
Sellafield - Barrow http://www.reays.co.uk/PDF/150.pdf
AFAIK Stagecoach will also be providing services to/from Sellafield from the West Cumbria area.

Where did that happen?!

As for Reays.... I reckon people will stick with SC!

I doubt Preston will want 20790, more likely that it'll replace an R reg at some depot to Preston

 

[rosswatson]

Not 100% sure, but I heard Clifton.

No surprise there then!! :roll:

Not much chance of that!

Barrow only have 1 K reg - 20780 - which will be replaced either by an R---XVM or a P reg.

Kendal's 3 K regs are all 63 seat SchoolRunners.

ERIC(18362) up for a re-vinyling after a M.O.T on friday as it is looking tatty.

I take it they are not putting the laurel and hardy vinyl on another B10M when 20780 is withdrawn.

 

[Gez.SCNW]

The vinyls on the Footbal Club bus are also being change, A diferent footballer on the side, no idea who it is other than he is wearing a blue shirt, Christie Park is being chnaged for the new one and the new Shrimps logo as well

 

[jonesy3001]

Why dont they put an all-over wrap on it other wise it`ll damage the paintwork when they are taking the single vinyls off,suppose it doesn`t matter though.

20127 - no one is sure what's happening to that.
20859 - awaiting allocation.
All the other stored P regs (20134, 20894) have mechanical problems.

 

[rosswatson]

Forgot to mention before that the two Fife Oly's are still down at Willowholme.

 

[Dallamlad]

Glad to hear 18362/63 are been touched up

18324 working a 5 this evening.

Is ME getting a PVR increase for the college routes and if so, is it the B10's that are meant to be coming...was it 2? 20128 and maybe 20127?

The M reg Olys may see paint before service if they stay although they do look quite fresh looking at the pictures.

 

[Gez.SCNW]

increase is being covered, by keeping two S reg Tridents when the four Scanias come
no sign of any Scania DDs at ADL today

Right so I take it if we do get two B10s they will see off 20451/63?

We are still keeping 17020/23/24 right?

Mmmmmm no Scanias...wonder where they have got to...

They are not in need of paint,

 

[Dallamlad]

Mmmmmmm so should see service soon! IF they are staying with us

 

[mbonwick]

The S reg Tridents are moving far and wide! Hopefully they'll gravitate back towards 1 depot at some point, when the Olympian crisis eases...

I assume 20127/8 are to try and solve the M reg B10M/B10B "problem"?

I was under the impression the B10's were back to cover for the Scania integration and missing deckers. I would hope that all 4 will go

I just hope LL are not silly enough to fit a tacho to 17017 (That is if it enters service there)... It is perfect for the Decker slot on 30/31, But to try and use it as a spare LF decker on 300/1 would pretty much wreck it... Thankfully there is a Tachoed Envro 300 in 22600! I have heard a second E300 is to be done, but that remains to be seen!!! :roll:
