Stagecoach North West Discussion

14248 was picked up by Kendal this morning from Morecambe after being re-engined, they came down in Kendal's fitters van. 14193 has changed positions in the yard, with 20127 next to it, joining 20128 on the back fence. 20463 has returned from Frenchwood, minus ticket machine but still displaying tax and green disc.
16103 was on the 4C's today.
17019 was involved in an RTA on approach to the Withy Trees Traffic lights heading into Preston at around 1650 this evening, having just left Preston College on the short 125, appeared that Mr BMW driver had failed to stop and had ploughed in the back of it! Damage looked quite severe to the BMW, 17019 had a broken bumper and boot lid and was heavily leaking fluid.

Nothing wrong with 20128 is there?
Does 20463 still have it's LED or did Preston keep it?

Hope the damage to 17019 wasn't to bad!

This morning:
47007 was Moorclose 51, but no bus turned up for 0820 X5 to Cockermouth, so 47007 done that X5 at 0830, in the hope a bus turned up to run 0830 51, but it didn't, so that 51 didn't run!

Thats where it plodded off to then, a little un-organised there

Its free on UK Buses, I'm sure there's other free sources out there. Pretty reliable UK Buses.

Think the LED was still in, no big hole anyway to suggest it had gone. 20128 is probably just parked there awaiting work, probably the overflow from the dead lane - 16877 I remember spent several weeks in that spot but is of course still in service. 17019 is hopefully cosmetic, the fluid leaking out will probably more than likely be coolent, so hopefully nothing too drastic than a new length of pipe.

So that what the new school runners for Kendal, will looklike

 

[mbonwick]

Pretty sure I saw all of Morecambe's XCNs out today, could be wrong. AS has been said, dead lane overflow most likely.


Who's betting on Merseyside's B10M/B10Ls migrating up here as the E300s start arriving?

LED still in! Interesting. Wuld ave thought PR would have taken it out seeing as 20463 is on disposal, good for us anyway sure we can shove it in something lol.

Wonder if morecambe bought the L.E.D for 20463.

 

[Dallamlad]

Wonder if morecambe bought the L.E.D for 20463.

How do you mean? Bought it before it went to Preston? I doubt they did that very much seeing as its on disposal and was for a little while before it went to PR. Preston put the LED in because they don't have the equipment to programme B-Tech blinds, same reason they put a flip dot Hanover in one of the F reg Leylands. If the LED is indeed still in 20463 I'm very surprised that Preston didn't take it out.

Picture of 52412 Ex Preston Interurban now with SC Merseyside. Its been used as a training vehicle but still has it old X61 branding and an L plate on the rear end which made me chuckle

[rosswatson]

All of CE's MPD's out in Carlisle today; 33161, 33162, 34214 and the legendary 34048 on Citi services + 33076 on short 685.
20977 on the normal 685 with 52629.

16734 and 20910 on LL 600.

Nothing else worth noting.

A Double Decker (Possibly a Leyland) of some sort on Staff Shuttle. Too far away to catch it's number.

No idea, assuming it is still in 20463 (We're not 100% sure) it could go in anything with an old blind, 20133 still has an old B-rech blind but may not be worth it if it's going to be leaving soon which is a possibility.It could go in 16666 but that would involve plating over the side and rear blinds to make it look right. Not a big deal anyway lol we'll have to see!

20463 has moved today into the dead lane, so possibility of it being classed as stored rather than withdrawn is now greater. Red steering wheel cover in front window. 20128 is now also off the back fence and on the pits - so was put there obviously as defective/inspection. 20463's place at Frenchwood appears to have been taken by 20477, wasn't this on loan a couple of months back... was returned to Morecambe for storage but appears to have disappeared back once again to Preston. Was on 4C today, making a matching set for Preston with 20475/6 there also.
Ex Busways LTN Olympians seem to be a bit thin on the ground at the moment, not seen them on colleges etc for the last few days.

And for those wondering what the rear end of the new PB livery is like, well dark blue would have been an idea to mask road dirt.... bar the fact they have painted around the windows and boot lid silver too! Doesn't look bad, seems they are doing away with external advertising too, as 28510 has had its frame at the rear removed, replaced by a large Preston Bus fleet name... they still have retained the Citi style "high frequency...." text though at the side of the window!

20910 back out on the long routes! It's been on 30/31 most of time lately. Is 20910 tacho'd it's down on the fleet list as non tacho'd.

 

[cainebj]

Is 20910 tacho'd it's down on the fleet list as non tacho'd.

20910 is tacho'd, and is also listed as tacho'd.
The only tacho'd bus at Lillyhall that isn't listed as tacho'd, is 16331.
Carlisle's 16355 also isn't listed as tacho'd.

Not sold as yet - but a deal has been reached. At least that's how I view the disposals sections. I'm sure Gez will know for sure.

Yes sorry didn't male that clear

I think I miss read the Key symbols the tachograph symbol was something like this: "#".

 

[mbonwick]

I'm having a crack at Gez's challenge;

Merseyside; 27701-22 (22 vehicles - confirmed, on delivery)
North East; 27723-44 (24 vehicles - confirmed)
Both of the above appear to be extensions to the 2010 order, so does Morecambe have the award for first delivery of 2011 order?!

Either way, I'm guessing at 27745-56 for Morecambe (12 vehicles)

Sounds right. There have been quite a few extensions to this years order, I read somewhere exactly what they are but can't find the info now.

I think I've asked this before but does anyone know what is going to be displaced when Merseyside get their E300s? I imagine the B10L's will go and then some B10BLE's but not sure of the details and where the cast offs will end up...

Go to page 801 and i asked the same and he said the ones at merseyside match the ones that we have.

 

[Gez.SCNW]

What I meant was all those registrations noted matched the list that LB had sent us
and young Mr B wins, but do remember that things can Change
