My mate Tony Kent tells me that 20604 is back in the yard at Hyde Rd today

 

[mbonwick]

Yeah, it was only a loan.

Just like 20602 was loaned to Yorkshire, replaced by 20605. Both are now back with Manchester.

I knew my eyes weren't deceiving me! I never mentioned it on here for fear of being branded a loony!

heard a few B10M's flying around this morning.
what sounded to be 20994 went down towards Workington Train Station at 1035, followed by an E300. 20994 on 300 possibly? unless it was an Oly that is sounding more like 20994 instead of the usual whiney sound.

14193 has gone to carlisle,14201 has gone to wigleys, 16655 and 20305 to follow in the next two weeks and chorley volvo decker 16670 was in the yard apparently passing thru.

 

[mbonwick]

16670 will be on its way for paint I would think.

Can't see why 14193 has moved, unless it's ultimately off to Lillyhall for further storage.

Good to hear that more vehicles are being sold, 14201 looks so sad in its corner!

Shame Merseyside won't get on and shift 20802!!

Great, glad to hear they are having a clear out. I imagine a Lancaster driver will take 16670 up to CE and bring the MAN that has just been painted back.

 

[mbonwick]

Or a CE driver will bring the MAN down and take 16670 back!

 

[Dallamlad]

Or a CE driver will bring the MAN down and take 16670 back!

Which ever way is most convenient I imagine Shocking that 16670 still has it Coastliner branding lol.

Also forgot to mention that 47483 was on the 89 with a wonky screen, very similar to the wonky screens they had at LL lol.

 

[ALX400]

Crackin machine that its a flyer its due an MOT soon and will be painted and refitted soonish........busy oly that

16650 has arrived back nice and bonny, 16637 should be up there at some point tomorrow, not many volvo's left to paint at Chorley now, then 34680, and we can start on the optare's..

 

[mbonwick]

What's the state of play with the rotting Olympians ALX400?

 

[jonesy3001]

I have uploaded pics of todays events and 16670 had 2 drivers on it probably driver training.

Hi there,

They have all been repaired and had chassis refurb where ness at MOT time, at considerable cost aswell, unless they are extremely bad, and that is extremely bad then they are getting done, all of ours are mostly ok now only 3 left to paint and refurb so they should be with us for about another year unless they start to fall apart.

And while i remember 17019 is no longer coming to Chorley, its not required, 17018 requires some special TLC before its let loose, ouf thats had a hard life thats what you get when u get used to having a new fleet..

Wonder if 17019 will stay at ME then

 

[Dallamlad]

One would hope so!

 

[rosswatson]

Is 34079 back on the road? Only seen it once since the breakdown a few weeks ago....
17017 must be almost ready to hit the streets?

 

[Cumberland Lad]

[Dallamlad]

17017 is currently having it's seating re-trimmed.

That has surprised me ! I thought they would have rushed it out into service ASAP!

 

[Mattdw92]

Nope, it's still in the dead lane.

Hopefully it might find it's way to LL to keep 17017 company.

34079 did a sellafield run less than a week ago, perhaps not the best run after its time out
Yes! Glad they decided to retrim 17017, i thought it woul have been rushed into aervice also.
Do you know anything about 47023 being back in service after being towed away not too long after 34079, not been seen for a while!
