The dart did have a Bright-Tec blind

I guess the olypians will be stored with us until new homes are found. 16708, 16709 look very rough on body work side need a lot of touching up. :roll:

Been a while since a training bus was up at carlisle for repaint from ME, the last one was 25759 when the new training colour scheme came out and it looked like an ice cream van without the vinyls.

Extremely long refurb of course..... :lol:
Most recent sighting (AFAIK) was when I seen it out and about around Lillyhall estates on 25th November with two fitters on.
Out of interest, it had Excursion on the blind :lol:

According to the DVLA it is still SORN'd. Did it have seats fitted when you spotted it? :lol:

Thanks ALX400.

I'm guessing then that said ALX200s will be replacing 47019/21 (?) and 34680? I've heard both Carlisle and Gillmoss mentioned as future homes for those 3.

Cannot see Carlisle getting 47019 & 47021 as there is no work for them. They cannot replace the MPD's as they are Town reserve buses which the Solos would be terrible for.

52629 again on th 79/179 today. Been on most days over the last 7. I am told 5 Enviros were VOR over the weekend.

34719 on the 79/179 today as the Enviro shortage goes on.
34679 escaped onto the 67 & 68 today. Only the 2nd time it has been on the Town network.

Apparently there's a vehicle shortage at Morecambe!!!!!, my wife, who was travelling on a service 50 between Carnforth & Lancaster, when it brokedown.

After the driver had phoned the depot, he told the passengers that they had to wait for next number 50, as there was no spare bus.

My wife said that they had wait for over an hour before the next number 50 turned-up, which was late.

The first of Lillyhall's 2 brand new E300's has arrived, PX61 DWK. I believe the fleet numbers will be 27766 and 27767, but not 100% sure, and not sure which one DWK is.

I must have been living in a cave, never knew these were coming, what they for????

7:15 tonight PX08FMU and PX08CTE heading past Bothel OOS any ideas???

As far as I've heard, they're for 30/31, making 30/31 fully E300 operated + 17017 on decker slot. They should be replacing 2 56reg Darts, possibly to Carlisle.

No idea about branding.
Something for extra X5's would be nice, but we'll probably have to wait for B10M's to be replaced, hopefully in a few months time. Shame B10M replacements can't come now, stop 20913 getting out onto Moorclose Circulars with its high suspension, it was on 50 today, with 34616 on 51 and 20473 short 302.

Aye, i did a 67 Market > Belle Vue > Market... Absolute Flyer! it's not too out of place on towns, the only real sticking point being the fold up manual ramp! nothing like a bit of manual labour! :lol:

Also 34685 did a W.C. Hospital 600 earlier in the day,
and CUFC 34703 did the 17:40 600 to cockermouth.
With 20918 yet again LL's weapon of choice for one of their 600 slots

My two cents on this:
probably unbranded, to be used as 300/1/2 spares, and/or for the night & weekend runs... Pure speculation though...
