I see on the latest fleetcard for Cumbria that two of the open toppers have been transferred to Stagecoach Highlands - 16294 & 16329. Maybe one will end up on Orkney where an open topper from East [I think] was used last summer

The Trident had trade...

Merseyside & South Lancs reserve Volvo Olympian 16327 seen heading north on the M6 between Preston & Lancaster at 1105 this morning

I see the new X25 timetable is now on the Stagecoach website http://www.stagecoachbus.com/PdfUploads/Timetable_19714_X25%20(Chorley).pdf

Just seen 20456 setting off on the 1307 685 to Newcastle. Not being from Carlisle, is that an unusual working?

Sampled the X60/X61 today for the first time since Chorley took over. 0640 from Preston produced 16652 and I can honestly say that I have never heard a Volvo Olympian make such weird noises. I have driven many, many of these vehicles [and Leylands] but have never heard one making a sound as if...

Stagecoach Optare Solo on suspended tow on the M6 this morning. It was noted near Brock at about 0830 with Heysham Trucks doing the towing at quite a speed.
