I don't know about 40731, but 40732 had gained a radio, right in front of the cctv....... seems to be linked to GNW as its showing no service but crackled in a Group 900 Out of Fleet message which had 'GO' in the top corner... Does also say TfGM so maybe it's multi operator, like GNW can group...

Ticket machines are getting primed... And a question... why has the bee got handlebars? (Images show a test print from a Diamond ticket machine and a close-up shot of the bee logo)

Do Stagecoach in Chorley still do the twice weekly market day service 327 from Wrightington to Chorley? Used to do one trip into Chorley in a morning and back in an afternoon... just on a Tuesday and Friday... it was run by a bus coming off a school service in a morning and then back out again...

That Merseybus reminds me of when I used to work at Timeline in the late 90's, they had destination boxes that allowed you to independently set 'route' and 'destination' ... the route option had every number AND letter available along with a digital version of a roller blind (all types of towns...

Now that it's been decided not to do a mass cull of subsidised services in Lancashire(http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/corporate/web/viewdoc.asp?id=110071), some interesting facts and figures have been published regarding the subsidies paid for each route and...

It's being reported that 19066/67/71 are to be transferred from Manchester to Preston (via Gilmoss) in order to cascade three more of the 181xx tridents to Chorley to replace 17018/9/21 for use on TfGM schools as the latter three are S-reg and dont fit in with the '15 years old or less'...

As mentioned 33472 will go in September as it is being used for spare capacity whilst some of the MAN's get some attention over the summer..

And what about that routemaster, was that included, because that would knock the average down a slight percentage point or so.. :p

Never did get the hang of hyperlinks......

59's and 61's huh...

As it happens, i got a few pictures of this the other day.. http://imageshack.us/a/img835/4795/img2013032600065.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img24/9468/img2013032600064.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img29/1739/img2013032600063.jpg

Yes, i did mean 20793, as i said they were originally brought in to replace 20793 and others (some of which are in storage at Cowling) and 20794 is currently in use but not in public service Also add to that that the only single decker route in Chorley at the time (109) had been...

I think everyone should get their relevant information from this All four MANs arrived at Chorley together, to replace the likes of 20793/20895 etc, they were brought in to use on Southport school tenders and possibly the odd 109 run.. 22253 has been treated to a lot of work and therefore...

Could've made me a brew.....:-x
