Stagecoach North West Discussion

[Dallamlad]

Caught it at preston at 11:30 as the train we was on got cancelled and full off scots as it was glasgow week in blackpool. Got off it at queen square(12:45ish) because the loop was shut.

Just missed you then, I was stood outside the bus station!

recently repainted Citi Darts have recieved the same style fleetnames as Morecambe's MANs, the same as LL's 35246. they have:
Stagecoach
in Cumbria

rather than:
Stagecoach in Cumbria

33161 on short 685.
34048 on Citi 61.
16355 made its debut on 554 with newly fitted tacho.
20436 on 600.

16649, another Oly, 47722 and what looked to be 20451 in body shop.
16329 down the side with steering wheel cover of death in.
20960 was in workshops, then later towed into dead lane.
few Citi Darts, 33162, KL's trainer (52291), 20924, 20959 and 16337 (rear bright tech now painted over) in workshops areas.
pretty sure there was a MAN up there for repaint.

Just got back home, after my weekend away in Cambridge where, i was getting sick of seeing nothing but 10-reg'd E400's. The first bus that i saw, when got off the train at Carnforth, was one of Kendal's H-reg'd Leyland's on a Dallam School service!

33203/4 are in use now at Frenchwood on the 3 and 9's, no repaint has taken place on these and to say the least look scruffy! Will be intresting if they move to Fleetwood in place of whats likely to be 2 of the 346** Darts that are likely to be over there operating the 86/89's at the moment. 34620 is the usual resident along with one more.

[mbonwick]

Have i missed something?

 

[Dallamlad]

Chorley are recieving 2 solos and some refurbed Olys from somewhere.

I think its either stuff from Manc or could it be Olys from LL? Fully refurbed recently...

[themaster985]

On one of my rare visits to Lancaster Bus Station today I saw 20457 on the 1520 555 to Keswick. A little unusual or not??

Take them away, please?!

 

[Dallamlad]

Take them away, please?!

Well it was mentioned earlier that they may be coming from out of region so I could be wrong but LL could lose them, who knows

No, keep your eyes on the VOSA website over the next couple of weeks

 

[Dallamlad]

No, keep your eyes on the VOSA website over the next couple of weeks

So one can assume its Olys coming in to join the current ones like we thought in the first place, can anyone hint on numbers...more then 5 but less then 10? lol

 

[mbonwick]

Not unusual to have a B10M on 555, but very uusual for it to be on that time slot.
