It may have been all over the place, but it shows that Lillyhall can get all MAN's healthy enough for a full days work when they need to and knew the roadworks were coming up - hopefully the reason and/or maybe just coincidence! :lol: Would have been nice to see the Scania's doing extra X5's...

Was nice to have a low-floor decker for 'low floor' 30/31 decker slot! :lol: Will have to see if we regain decker slot with Oly' or most likely just lose decker-slot completely now. Either way, it'll be steppy unless all MAN's want to miraculously want to be in service for a day(s).

One step forward, two steps back for 30/31 again.... Not amused by the the lack of replacement like.

Oh dear! Surprised at the choice there, loosing good dart 34679 for one and now picking up 'lovely' 33133... ooouchy!

Two Darts had been Moorclose-ing until around half 5 today, as you'd probably agree its better keeping the town network LF rather than putting them on extra X5's.

Yeah that's how it seems Lillyhall are wanting to use them at the moment. Older MAN ALX300's should really be allocated 31A, a much more copable route for them in my opinion, especially as 30/31 is a demanding route. We've seen how the MAN Enviros have coped with the route....! Having S-reg...

47616 if back at lillyhall should be out soon after its repaint up at Carlisle. Got a feeling that 47023 will be out for a while with its engine and/or gearbox issues, third day its not been around. 47061 did replace 22611 by the late afternoon on 50. 17017 was out and about, whether or not it...

First time today that one of Lillyhall's new ADL E300's was off 30/31 and elsewhere. 27767 made the short 302 this afternoon after 20910 failed to start in the bus station. 27767 had been pulled from an early 30/31 the looks of things, but came down NIS from depot to do short 302's - 20923 was...

Bored on a Saturday night, so thought I'd post some West Cumbria news that hasn't made the forum for any other members. :) Arrival of 27766 and 27767 have displaced Pointer Darts from 30/31 onto the Workington-Keswick extra X5's (in turn have displaced B10M's 20913 and 20945 from service) -...

20456 is now in service with Carlisle and with this 20960 moved to Kendal. 20456 entered service I think two weeks ago-ish.... Throwing her in at the deep end already it would seem! All the best for 2012 everyone! :cake:

Reays could do with a little more rivalling on their West Cumbrian services for a little more 'tussle' over in the West! He really needs to ditch the ruddy Merc 709D's, they may be indestructible and may be Chris's ickle babas he's had since day dot and so wants to keep hold of. There may be...

All we need now is some (summer) sunnnn! *cough* *cough* :lol:

Didnt notice, or should I say didnt notice lack of seats at the time :lol:

Extremely long refurb of course..... :lol: Most recent sighting (AFAIK) was when I seen it out and about around Lillyhall estates on 25th November with two fitters on. Out of interest, it had Excursion on the blind :lol:

At least they've done finally got round to doing it :lol: Hopefully will get rid of the question that drivers know too well and probably sick off..... "Does this bus go to Penrith!?!?" - also, nice to see an actual gap between destination and connecting(!) ;)

Surprised it hasn't happened earlier, or even some drunk fall/fail attempting to climb up the scaffolding. When you think the builders are finished, they just seem to put even more scaffolding up :lol:

Actually made my day :lol: muhaha!

I'm assuming that these ones Reays have got recently arn't too bad........ One of Hendersons other E200 Darts which have also been pushed out by their newer buses, SF57FZK, has been aquired by Gateshead Taxis as I found out a few weeks ago at Blaydon. It was still in its Hendersons livery...

So it was 47016 today... after briefly going past the entrance of the depot and seeing a flipdot Solo's a*se today sitting there - pondered with all the flipdot solo's out in Workington today (and 47024 still up at Carlisle)! Rather good one this one! We'll see if its just there for storage for...

16447 gone out on the 1115 X5. 53337 on the annex with a wee bit of a lean going on! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- Richie just down on 16447 at 1200.... must have been replaced on X5 by something, somewhere :lol:
