Those of you in West Cumbria will not like this - but I am almost certain that 47474 is in Barrow.

Dont want to be thick but what happened to 47474??

Had a massive accident, got repaired then sat at CE for months, then saw service at LL, then went back into the dead lanes at CE is the short version lol!

 

[KendalKing]

As anyone else noticed that the LED display on 25224, keeps going blank then comes back on ?

 

[Mattdw92]

On board the 1845 Moorclose 50 to town which had been given to 20195, not a bad B10M at all, driver storming it round! - so much so he forgot i was still on, sitting behind the cab, straight past the bus station he went, until i reminded him, dropped me off in the bay by the traffic lights on Jane Street, for those who know he was most apologetic!

47007 final 50 and most likely on Evening services

Mbonwick pointed that out to me today! It had a right flicker going on!

Anything happening with 16185? Just in the back end of it in one of Jonesys new pics, nothing much seems to be happening lol.

Thinks its going to be a while lol. Anything else of interest happening Gez?

33076 would be my weapon of choice... but CE won't let that one go before one of the other two... Thumping 6-Cylinder powerplant in an SPD... It's not a brilliant example, but Gokart-esque Acceleration in comparison to any other short dart!!![/QUOTE]

all our short darts are good, and yes 33076 is the best. We even have one fitted with a taco.

Theres a cummins engine that has been sat outside the bodyshop(when the healthy heart bus was down for repairs) for ages, why dont they put that into 16185?

 

[mbonwick]

Won't fit I imagine, or perhaps that came out of the heart bus and is dead?

They thought it had a dodgy engine but there was nothing wrong with it!!:roll:
It was the exhaust instead.

Not the one out of 16655 is it? I'm not sure what kind of engine 655 had but it wouldn't fit in 16185, think it was you who mentioned it actually lol

Barrow have been cutting various contracts, as if they havnt enough solos, as if its needed down there
= sad face
At least it might see service! Better than doing nothing I suppose

20859 round at VOSA yesterday morning, still with an LED

Branding on Manchester's hybrids doesn't seem to be as big as Oxfords!

20918 and 47007 on Moorclose this morning. by the afternoon, 20921 had replaced 47007. wouldn't be surprised if 47007 went to Whitehaven on 3 or 4, which can take a bloody B10M anyways.
20901 and 47062 on Seaton. 47062's front LED has packed up yet again.
47023 and 47061 on Harrington.
20910 looked to have been on 600.
think its all 4 Scania's on 300.
20945 short 300.
20195 and 34616 30 and 31. 20195 ended up running 5 mins late due to pushchairs!
various other B10M's been flying around.

 

[Mattdw92]

passing through Maryport, 42025 doing the Maryport Circulars. Had boards up for the 57, display stuck on Maryport 58

Enviro 15697 seen at Preston Bus station on the 41 with its high backed seating.

ALX300 22253 working the 1 to Longridge.

Side note, Fishwick have added another two buses to their fleet. YJ60GHF 4, & YJ60GJF 5 both noted at Preston today.

Yeah I saw 15697 heading for Preston today as well. Good for Fishwicks, think they have the right idea just plodding along

Pathetic! :roll: It's not as if LL is short of low floors either....

 

[cainebj]

its also the only bus of its type there!
nice how Stagecoach transfer 47474 to replace 33169, then take away 47474 without replacement!
if LL kept 47474 in service, town services could have been fully low floor on quite a few days! when 34079 was alive, there was at least 1 occasion where there was only 1 B10M around on town services!
not really a good image advertising services as accessible, then having 2 B10M's on each day!

its not been confirmed as in Barrow, for all we know it could still be at CE or could have been up at BA as a temp cover.

Last seen at LL. Probably has gone to BA.

Who knows lol it could well be in BA. We'll see on the next fleetcard!!!

 

[Mattdw92]

I think they had no intentions of putting it back in service at LL, some reason was making them think otherwise, as we had and still have our LF shortage. Its still bad that they didn't replace it with anything after it left. 'Hopefully' will see something replace 34079 haha
