It might well be me: I have only just noticed the timetables for the Boxing Day services in Carlisle, but then I wasn't looking for them as I don't recall there having been any before in the 9 years I have been living here.[/QUOTE]

There was a Boxing day service last year in Carlisle, This is year two.

So it is me being unobservant :). My excuse is that I wasn't in Carlisle over Christmas & New Year last year, so I never looked for the holiday period timetables.

Must have been a satisfactory take up last year, if it is happening again this year.

16714 on 30 and 31.
34218 on 47 again.

haven't seen anything else really, just the usual Darts and a MAN (waiting for 79, so not an odd allocation) in Carlisle. saw a Reays Primo heading to the Infirmary with "Harraby Upperby 63 via Boundary Infirmary Circular" on the displays though :roll: i wonder if the serious lack of clear information on displays has anything to do with the 63 only having 4 passengers, yet the 3 Stagecoach buses from the same areas had quite a few passengers on :roll: maybe people wanting to go to City Centre on Reays saw "Harraby Upperby" on the LED and thought it wasn't going to the city centre, seeing as it should have been saying "Infirmary"!!!!!

16652 on Moorclose Circular 50.

Interesting allocation! With 20945 on annex, and probably more B10M's on the annex throughout the day, you would think they would have put a B10M on Moorclose at least!

I take it 34215 hasn't showed its face yet. 34218 seems to be sticking to the same route all week, Moorclose last week and Seaton this week :)

16124 entered service with Preston yesterday. No idea where 16103 went after leaving Carlisle paintshops, it was down as a maybe for Chorley but with all the N reg Olys coming over I'm not sure if it will end up there or not.

just been sent some updated PVR cards for Stagecoach North West.
not sure how correct they are or anything!

on the Preston one, worth taking into account that 16124 and 16874 (at least) are now in service, taking it up to 0 spare Volvo Oly's (rather than -2), and still having the 3 spare Tridents and spare Scania. both B10M's showing as spare, with the 61 Oly operated (true? not true? will be happening soon?).

Wonder if they have taken all the Dragons or just a handful. Also looks like they have taken the LED's out so they'll be going in some of Mancs stuff!

34215 is FINALLY out and about on 50! the Hanover LED still has the old style prgramming on it, from when it was fitted to another bus! so "Moorclose Circular 50" is all squashed up on one line!!! it still has the sticker on the side window from the days it had a side roller blind in! the rear display isn't brilliantly covered over either, unlike 34218.
47007 on Seaton.
47006 and an 04 reg Solo on Harrington.
34079 short 300.
34616 30 and 31.
47060 and 20473 staff shuttles.

Customers who purchased their Citirider, Megarider, Goldrider or Unirider on the www.stagecoachbus.com website will receive an e-mail explaining what actions to take regarding their ticket.

Good to see you still online themaster985.

Can't say I'm surprised the employees have been rejected - it didn't work before, it wouldn't work now.

20475 belongs to Preston, probably up for attention, or storage if its been swapped with 20477 (477 has just been repainted)

20477 in service, freshly repainted, this afternoon heading north on Garstang Road towards the college with 61 blinds programed as I was heading into Preston. Cumbrian fleet names but "owned by..." legals in the front windscreen of all places, so maybe on loan from reserve to cover whatever is wrong with 20475 maybe?

Also, I think 2 more B10M's have arrived for storage at White Lund, having conveyed the drivers from the depot today armed with trade plates, one was a P12* XCN version from a distance although didn't have chance to look.

The P---XCN may be 20127 which has been stored for a while.

Gez, do you know how many Darts Merseyside are due?
Another question for you - what happened with the 1610 55A? Very unusual to see a B10M on there, especially with 16877 out of service on stand 16 next to it...
