De ja vu, I'm sure I've read that somewhere else.. :| either that or people with the surname Jones are in agreement that the front swoop is bobbins

I know its not quite in our patch, but, what do people think of this? (Thanks to Jonathan Gallagher for the photo)

Just incase you havent seen it yet, the 125 branding which has been applied can be seen here on 15573/4 in Bolton the other day, These arn't my pics, they are links from another forum i use, but show all the various aspects around the buses.. i got permission from the Nicholas to post the links...

No surprise about the appeal, maybe just a little surprised it appeared before Christmas.. as for Paul McGill, i dunno, kids today... all keen as mustard, aside from the fact that three other buses were in front of him, picking up all the passengers etc, and making him on time, the fact he...

There you go, do you see my prediciment now, i go ahead posting some blistering breaking news, and it all changes in a phone call five minutes after i post it.. even ALX400 can't confirm it all and he's a lot closer to it all than me!:lol: As for the Scanias, i noted most of them are counting...

OI!, leave me alone, I'm supposed to be having a week away from all this .. :p No, seriously though, i apologise for that, it was something of a crossed wires thing, i was discussing it on another forum at the time as well and it falsely confirmed something, that i learnt afterwards, that...

There was something on another forum about this, the Dragons listed for sale and something about Olympians.. Will do some digging.. As for the Scania with a borked blind, i remeber seeing it, but can't think which one it was 18151 was hunted down and given the new coastliner branding...

Highly possible, But they had gone past the turn off for the M58, but then again, may have been heading for the A580 (East Lancs)

I'm not always 100% accurate on my bus identification, but from the front they looked like that thing Preston has one of, they looked Optare-ish single deckers anyway Also arriving on trade plates today were three more Scanias, PX59CTE/K/U at least two of which were given branding, i noted...

Yes.. And that 16714 or whatever it was, does it still have the 'Number 1 for students' logos? 18153, which had been tracked down to Chorley and branded before we had a chance to send it to Preston, has also gained a 'full page ad' on the rear for the coastliner service, looked very...

Remember seeing it in Preston at around 13:15, it stood out slightly, it was on the 40 stand (Stand 12) so i presume that was what it was on.. Slightly later i spotted a new MX59 Enviro limping towards Walton Summit with a frontline pcv van following, .. not a very auspicious start to its new...

As stated in a post above yours, i said they were from Chorley, two of which haven't been around for a while, if the girl had long dark hair in a pony tail, and one of the blokes has a beard, its thm, the other bloke would be one whose been in Chorley for a few weeks but also likes to travel...

A couple of drivers from Chorley are apparently going up to West Cumbria to help out, these guys haven't been at Chorley for a while, busy helping out at other places, so if anyone sees them, give them my regards!! 18148 in full coast liner livery was in the Chorley dock shop, down for its...

Seems a little out of place putting my observations in at this point in time, given the dramatics of the previous days events, hopefully everything will be sorted out in time for a Christmas celebration, give people a chance, not to really celebrate, but ... well i dont really know how to...

On a duller note, the expected problems in Chorley yesterday didnt materialise and we didnt even have any rain to speak of, and 18139 was back in service at Chorley..

Chorley have apparently gained.. 16649 NEW Route 4 Chorley - Gt. Knowley Tendered 124's Re:bird strikes, only suffered one in my time of about 11 years so far, Urmston, bird, suspected pigeon, flew out from a strut underneath a motorway bridge, only to find my bus doing 30mph in his...

Add 18154 which i saw there yesterday.. and 18141/55 amoungst those still in Chorley thus far.. Things have been moving along pretty swiftly so far, as Scania buses have been getting stickered up and sent out, allowing Tridents to go, we still have about 3 or 4 Tridents listed as ours but...

No problem mate, although apologies were not necessary, the post was typed with my tongue very firmly planted in my cheek, although i do apologise for being a little over zealous in pointing out the number of vehicles

My source will be looking at this, and he wont be happy about the 'if' !! So when the 7 (Seven!) tridents go to Barrow, he'll be looking for an apology.. :p:p

That name keeps cropping up from all sorts of angles, apparently they allegedly dropped out of buying Preston Bus because of the £2.2m worth of debts they had, and had allegedly given Stagecoach a way out of Preston by offering to buy them at one point as well.. As for the pension, rumour has...
