Was handed a post it note today by a highly credible source within the company (i'll call them that as i don't know what else to call them!) Anyway, the contents of this note follow, make of it what you will, i'll leave it to you.. '18138-18144 Barrow 18145-18159 Preston' i did see...

Maybe they included something stupid like the wrecker and a works van?!

Shhh... why do you think they got 15xxx series numbers....

I eventually ended up re-installing open office because of some really old rich text files i needed to access for the first time in about ten years.. So the upshot is i can now open files such as .xls etc Open office is a good programme, gives you all the features of Microsoft office, but for...

Chorleys new Scanias started in service today.. 15571 was first on the 10:15 126 to Bolton and is scheduled to be out until 23:03 tonight (last couple of hours should be 20:05 from Chorley to Bolton, 20:50 from Bolton to Chorley, 21:35 from Chorley to Preston, 22:20 from Preston for anyone...

:?: Was sure they was putting it through its MoT at Chorley when it was there, maybe they didn't bother seeing as they wernt keeping it.. Also, they started dressing 15571 today...

Also the last 'official' day of full trident operation of the 125's, every available trident was out on the road with only a couple of Volvo's needed to fill the gaps... Cant see any Scanias being out on Sunday, and Monday will probably only see the start of the trickle.. Still should all...

Just in case of interest, a few pics uploaded from today I nipped into Cowling annexe to see what was there, and also it was noted that 20767 had disappeared

ooops

Was wondering what was going on, seeing as nothing had come back from Morecambe, too busy trying to keep tabs on the new Scanias to be honest, i know theres 5 around the depot and another 3 to be picked up, and according to a source, theres been some mooting of the 'urban connect' branding that...

depends, i dont have any set of rules, generally though i think i quote the 155xx as, one double-five, because i usually quote our Volvo's as one double-six, but the tridents and minis usually get generally individualised.. suppose it doesn't really matter how you pronounce them, i think we...

Can i just post a quick message of apology, somewhere along the line, i got the fleet numbers for the new Enviro's at Chorley slightly mixed up.. To confirm, the fleet numbers are 15563-84 (one double-five six three to eight four) and the first to arrive was 15564 (one double-five six four)...

Assuming that it happens, i think the CC would 'assure' any company looking to buy PB that they would be protected against undercutting and competition on routes for whatever the 2-5 years mentioned was and that would give them time to make it profitable, yadda yadda.. personally, i think I'm on...

Same rumour has been circulating Chorley, coming from a substantial source.. Sorry for PID read PDI (Pre Delivery Inspection) dont know why, but Scania wernt happy with it, so Stagecoach hadn't even got a chance to look at it..

Just a few notes about Preston, Things that seem to have jumped out at me whilst sitting in the horrendous traffic on Saturday were. 47490 and 47492 have been liveried up for 113 service, i am assuming they are the replacements for the likes of 47006 (which was still branded and running...

Ok, where to start.. 15664 has had legals applied and discs inserted .. (3 more pics added by the way) .. and is ready for launch... Well ready for VF'ing anyway, Anyone in Chorley from Monday would be advised to bring a camera, as its likely to be running up and down the locale whilst the...

Apparently its the wrong one, the right ones have started to be fitted to the ones coming down now, with some extras to replace the wrong ones already fitted to some Scanias.. Next thing is, are they bonded or screwed... if they are bonded, theres going to be some fun to be had smashing off...

Why Yes..Yes it is .. (sorry, kids been watching too much Phinas and Ferb!) Anyway, there was a posting on here before about two high bridge deckers going to Morecambe, i suspected 16877 was one of them, as, although bought from Yorkshire Traction for Chorley, it seems to have been shunned...

So i sit on some information for a few days, and of course as soon as i release the information, it bloody well changes...!!! So, the bus transfer is off.. due to the fact that the Enviro's wont be available for service until November 1st, thats when the registration kicks in, when the buses...

I'm told it is, but to cover myself from any last minute changes, i now include the word possibly... example being that 18150 should now be at Carlisle being repainted, but unforeseen circumstances dictated otherwise.. can't be accused of any 'misleading information' ;)
