Except Barrow needed something now as they're effectively running without a spare.

Fleetcard is online at the usual place...

Seen the fleetcard, Intresting month for Stagecoach North West!

The Merseyside fleetcard says that 17201 (on Workington annexe yesterday) Is getting a refurb, along with several other Tridents.

Andrew has a point actually; the fleetcard for Merseyside has cleared up that Gillmoss will be carrying out the refurbs, not Lillyhall.

Lillyhall are only doing the SD conversions while CE are doing the paint.

Aye, Bloody Hell. I didn't know it was clear.

Sorry that did sound like I was having a go and actually on reflection we haven't really discussed it on here.

As far as I am aware the ex London Tridents for Mersey are getting their seats done at LL and maybe the floor etc as well :)

I also heard that they may be re-engined.

AND after just reading Mbonwicks post and now fully understanding the whole point of this discussion I am wrong lol sorry chaps :)

I wonder if a 55reg Trident comes to Lillyhall, (To replace 17017) when the Scania's come to Kendal.

Can I ask if 22817 is back from re-paint?

Confusing this ain't it? I had a go at Mbonwick, this was before he edited his post though.

Mbonwick, sorry.

Did it? bloody Hell! I thaught it went up earlier!

22817 is still outside next to the withdrawn B10M's. It will not be going in until Tuesday at the very earliest, suppose it depends if needs to go into the bodyshop for anything.

Forgot to note that 16397 has finally made it to Penrith for a short while. Should be something else on the 554 with any luck now.

Shame it'll come back though!!! I wonder how long it'll be before residents on the Penrith decker routes are complaining about the amount of smoke that thing chucks out!

On bank holidays the 60 & 76 interwork in Carlisle resulting in a PVR of 5. It is supposed to be 5 blank Citi Darts but 34714 was in use today and 34713 replaced 34686 at West Tower Street after it had failed. Unusual too see the 76 branded ones on anything else!

20907 & 20959 on the 553/555
20451 & 20907 on the 85/685
16355 on the 38
16338 on the Wigton Market Free Bus
34701 & 34719 on the 65/75
34687 on the 185/179/685

There was also a Citi Dart on the full 79's but forget which now, seemed to be replaced around 12.30.

All the right numbers just the wrong order :lol:
My apologies.

I would suspect accident damage or major mechanical failure to scrap a coach of that age.

Anybody have any idea how many Tridents LL have converted so far for Mersey?

There's 7 Trident's for Merseyside at Lillyhall, so I can't be be that far through. Just a rough guess.

OK, Just a question about my Flickr photos', Is it OK if i delete everything from my flickr and start again? If people on here wants me to keep some pics, I will upload them again? I can't get a Flickr Pro account.

Ha way! Is 79 branded 24119 on the 79 actually worth reporting. I have no problem with the rarer stuff but things like that and 47722 on the 77A is normal and happens daily.

The vintage bus you got in Carlisle was doing tours from outside the Crown & Mitre hotel.

47022 on the 73/73A.
