The usual saying '300 killed it' comes to mind (well, short 300 anyway!)
...although it was pretty dead before its outing on short 300

A 56 reg Dart did a short X5 this morning and then replaced 20923 on 30/31. 34079 is now on short 300, so I presume 20923 has gone on Seaton.
17017 on 30/31, chucking out plenty of black smoke! MCW also on.
H118 on 48's.

16666 running shuttles from the Uni into Lancaster with Private Hire on the blind and an un-programmed ticket machine.
40033 looks much better with its branding!
Also Lancashire County Council are planning to charge the parents of children who go to faith schools £2 a day for bus travel so this will effect Ripley St Thomas mainly in our area.
Also now that the M6 link has been given the go ahead we can expect a new Park & Ride scheme in Lancaster when it is completed. I think the time frame is 5 years with work starting in 2012.

21004 is back from kendal and 18358 has gone the other way.
Heard a rumour that the magic bus N/C B10m's might be used in service in corporate swoops.

Well I'm not sure whether it would be ME unless one replaced 20463 (on reserve so unlikely) or 2 M reg B10B's but I can't see that happening either. KL have M's left but they are doing work on them so looks like they are staying. They could join a fleet as part of a PVR increase...who knows

47006 on Workington Town Evening Services.
47005 done 2015 X5 to Cockermouth and back.
53337 on 2015 to Penrith.
47061 sat on annexe waiting for 2215 X5 to Keswick.
47617 on evening 30.
17017 was sat on annexe after 30/31 tonight. when it left, it sounded a bit different than it did before it broke, didn't pull away anywhere near as fast as it used to either! it actually reminded me of Manchester's knackered W reg ones!!!

If it is worse that's just typical LL lol!
From rumours on other forums, it sounds like Merseyside MagicBus will end at the end of December, with ex-HK Darts from somewhere down south transferring in to make up the PVR.
This will allow all the B10Ms to go, and the W---DNO Darts to transfer to NW.
Interesting rumours, no idea if they're true or not. Would be handy if they are!

Mmmmm that is interesting. Magic bus isn't that big an operation in Liverpool is it? Would be handy for us!!!
last I knew, there was just the 1 route, 14C, with a PVR of 8.

Mmmmm its possible that they could cut it, meaning even more B10s flying around lol.
not North West, but here is a picture of the new Plaxton Panther for Stagecoach Midland Red, in Megabus livery (not my picture)
Stagecoach management appointments
Former MD at Stagecoach Manchester, Mark Threapleton, has been appointed to head up Stagecoach's recently acquired East London Bus Group Ltd.
Mark will manage the operation's 4,800 employees, 1,400 buses and ten depots. The £53m acquisition deal has given the company a 15% share of the capital's bus market.
Replacing Mark in his previous role is the current MD of Stagecoach North West, Chris Bowles, who takes the position from 8 November 2010. Paul Southgate has been named as the new MD of Stagecoach North West, effective from the same date.
MD of Stagecoach UK Bus, Les Warneford, said, 'We have a strong team of senior managers across the business and I would like to wish Mark, Chris and Paul every success in their new roles.'

Panther looks good!
Am I right in thinking that as well as Paul Southgate coming in as the new NW MD there will be a small move around of depot OM's as well?

As for the panther, its better but strange seeing the destination box under the window haha. Better for passengers seeing out I suppose!
Compared to all the other depots, wouldn't it be nice if LL had some spare solo's listed on the PVR card :roll:

Solo must be in for work, wonder if its yet another fuel leak lol! I've only seen the one solo today, heading through Greaves, does it usually take this route?
