so it is still alive (and well??)! :lol:

yeah i thought that when i posted! :lol:

could you class northside as a 'town circular' always has b10m's on, probally where an extra one is lacking

no there aint thank goodness :lol: 47474 has helped put them to bed! think we are fine for solo's now.... can keep them KX51 reg sheds!

yeah i think we are good for mini-buses now :) when i was out and about today, all were on designated low-floor town routes in the workington area agree with them darts, better than the short darts!!

47474 and 47007 on 46's/Harrington 47006 and 47616 on 47/Seaton 20945 went out on the 2:15 48/Northside with a 'Sorry Not in Service' display and no boards - even though 20473, 20777 on annex with '48 Northside' on both! others on annex - 20994 and 20905 47061 on 51 (rear display broke) 47059 on...

oh no, i would'nt think so at all :lol: the only come-back i can say is that all 12 solos do get around West Cumbria as they aren't set to a particular service, except the 08's where there is always one operating service 1 in whitehaven because Bransty Road is particularly steep and 51's can't...

never experienced an s-reg, won't be long knowing lillyhall! :lol: our fleet of them is growing, and yeah they are good vehicles, just lillyhall don't get the best pick of the bunch! although latest addition 47474 is doing well...so far :)

welcome Lui9795, lillyhall's solos are 51, 04, 07 and 08 reg - the 51's are lacking in the power department, and as far as reliable goes, lillyhalls 51's are iffy! the S-reg must be a joy! 07/8 tick the boxes better :lol: 47474 getting around today then :)

20790 on seaton before noon (while 47474 was parked bathing in the sun on the annex! with 20130 and 20777 around 1245) 22596 and another E300 needed the hosepipe treatment in the bus station, overheating 47005 on 51 47062 on 50 in whitehaven today: 47617 on 1 20910 on 2 (later replaced...

Hmm just a little :lol: 47474 just gone past my window on 50 now (15:50), must have been hiding all day! - at the same time behind 47474 34616 went past on 50 too!! (originally on 50 today), both were not full :o hmm

The 04's are ok, they do sometimes struggle going up the steeper hills of the town services. First gear is a struggle at these parts, but once they get up the gears, their away :lol: while with the 51 reg's crawl up the hills making more sound than progress! When optare first set out making...

wow that is pretty bad, no wonder its being out of service for a while think we hope these 'problems' have been fixed and hope the driver made a full recovery, its out of Moorclose 51 this morning

47474 is out on the workington evening service :O :)

I noticed the lettering too and ye quite a few vehicles need also share the same problem, was on 47474 coming back from sixth form, a very smooth ride and rattle free :) ye surprised that its just appeared in service so quick. A difference to the rest of the solo's at LL is that the cab has a...

47474 running moorclose 50!! :D

so 47474 is staying and is already here! :) suppose its just been up in carlisle hasnt it(?) fairly new (incomparison to rest of LL solo fleet) and repaired+painted after an accident a while back apparently - prob why its ended up at LL! any ideas when its entering service? - i agree with ross's...

its just gone past my window, and i can confirm the patch has gone! :lol: about time these got a new coat and now a new additional solo to LL... ....and not a 51 reg, i'm suspicious though haha :D good news, the sooner the better... not that we are missing the company of 33169 at all :lol:

had a lil run to whitehaven today :) 47616 on 1 35248 on 2 47006 on 3 47007 on 4 35247 on 31A (as cainebj said) 47617 on moorclose 50 - looks like both 08' reg solos appear to have been painted, or at least both have had their stagecoach graphics reapplied and areas touched up!

ohh yes i'd agree :D although then lillyhall would have even less lf's :lol: ...and as if the moorclose circular didn't get behind schedule enough :roll: good luck with your exam though :)
