Stagecoach North West Discussion

[Dallamlad]

14266 was stolen from barrow depot in early hours this morning and landed in the roundabout at the end of A590 were joins A591 forgot the roundabout name. Was frightend to photo it while was there coz lots of police but it's been dragged to kendal or morecambe so will get some soon. It never went towards barrow anywayz.

I read a Facebook states about a bus in a roundabout before and now I know why. I hope 14266 is OK.

Mbonwick I have been told that it is the same tw*t that stole other SC vehicles in the past. The man's a bloody idiot.

Suppose it's a good thing that it was a Leyland and not a Trident etc.

The name of the roundabout at the junction of A590/A591 is Brettargh Holt.

It's Newby Bridge, I only just got a pic of 14266 in Barrow last Saturday.

Newby Bridge is at the junction of A590/A592.

From what I understand it could be a right off so BA are going to need a replacement I assume. From the picture it looks worse then I thought.

Also 47016 was the solo involved in the incident in George Street and is awaiting repairs at ME as seen here:

22596 sat on annexe with a hole in the rear O/S corner next to rear window. Looked like it could have been for 301's.

I'm told there's 2 MAN E300's on X5/X50 today, not sure which ones. Trying to kill them off quicker?

14266 Actually Crashed! I hate Tridents I wish it was a Trident and not a Leyland.

Reports on the BBC state that an 18 year old boy suffered serious injuries in the crash, and has been charged with aggrevated vehicle taking

 

[mbonwick]

Yep, straight back to the clink he goes.
Didn't learn from nicking various Barrow f regs, or 22809...

 

[07andrew]

[Paul Mcgill]

While Coaches are off.

You do know our MAN E300's are 08reg, and you'd be surprised at how knackered they are.

Iam a regular passenger on X4/X5 and most of the time I get Coaches, (If not a B7R, I get 52628 Which is still a Coach)

On a Sunday the PVR of the X5 is 2. We have 4 Volvo B7R Coaches, and we couldn't even at least get 2 Coaches out for todays X5 workings.

Sunday Service tomoz remember, so they'll be 2 E300's on tommorow's X5's.

Could it become a regular thing MANS on Sunday service 300/301/X5/X50 especially with more MANS on the way from ME.

Well we just have to wait and see what pans out the next few Sundays, I hope not!

TBH, I don't think the MANS should be branded, Lately we've had:

A MAN on Town service 50. (For a few runs)
1 MAN on X5 on Friday.
2 MANS on X5 today.
Weve had 2 MANS on 301 the last 2 nights.
And there's normally a MAN on the 300/302 from Carlisle in the morning.

You're right there i'd say since the service changes 2 weeks a go theres been at least 1 MAN a day on other routes than 30/31

At least 1 Double Decker is on PVR for 30/31, But Yesterday, There was 4 on 30/31. And a Dart I think.

Lillyhall's Trident 17017 has been on VOR for at least 3 Month and is getting a new engine fitted, Which Isn't really helping matters on 30/31.

When 17017 comes back, I can see that being a spare for 300/301/302, and the MANs can stay on 30/31.


If MANS come from Morecambe I think they'll be V reg because I think Lillyhall have learnt their lesson with how awful our 08reg MANS are!

 

[stagecoachuk]

Staceys have 2 11 plate Van Hools MF11LVU/T

Staceys are Neoplan Tourliners[/QUOTE]

Yeah - I have got in the habbit of calling them Van Hools for some reason even though I know they are not!

Last I heard you can forget about any of the replaced Mans coming to Lillyhall unless there has been a massive re-think!

Thanks for that!

 

[TheHovisKid]

Barrow seemed to have a Solo out on the X35 today, is that usual...?

 

[mbonwick]

Very very unusual that, first time I've heard of it happening.

No doubt 14266s loss may have something to do with this...
