47493 was/is meant to be transferred to Fleetwood, it did spend some time there but has since returned with issues and I don't think it has yet gone back there. It was also due a repaint too.
Preston.... spares.... have I missed something!
The problem is the lack of minibuses and single deckers and extra PVR increases that Preston has recently had. Remember, there are only 5 MANs and 7 vehicles needed for your peak time 3s (add to that your MANs aint very reliable), so you've lost...
16874 was on the move in Preston this afternoon, heading off the motorway at Jct31 towards the City Centre, with a fitter driving and what looked like several removed seats in the saloon. Could have been heading to Frenchwood for whatever reason.
Makes sense, not sure if the plate actually belonged to one of the management and following the re-shuffle Im not suprised it ended up getting a re-reg.

Stagecoach to operate services 337 and 347 from Chorley to Ormskirk and Southport
Stagecoach are pleased to announce that we will be operating Lancashire County Council contracted services 337 (Chorley to Ormskirk) and 347 (Chorley to Southport) with effect from Monday 29th November...
33203/4 are in use now at Frenchwood on the 3 and 9's, no repaint has taken place on these and to say the least look scruffy! Will be intresting if they move to Fleetwood in place of whats likely to be 2 of the 346** Darts that are likely to be over there operating the 86/89's at the moment...
Once again, its to do with how much budget West Cumbria has to spend on hiring the vehicles from Stagecoach UK Bus, I can imagine the Scanias have taken up a large percentage of their budget for this year and that Yorkshire being a bigger company and in some cases having bigger depots and having...
Especially when they did a transplant job on an R reg one not so long back at Carlisle... depends what state the vehicle is in as a whole, but B10M's are pretty robust and there are still plenty of spare donors in store in the north west and dotted around the country.
16647 as rightfully stated isn't tacho'd, so yes I assume mix up! And sorry about the mix up regarding the 8s and the 11s, will be interesting to see.
Apprently the 2 former Barrow Olympians touched down at Frenchwood this morning too.
ALL Fylde Deltas have already been withdrawn, there are only 3 left in service all in generic black and yellow and these will go when the remaining ex Anglian B7RLE's take to the road. Further details can be found here http://fyldebus.blogspot.com/

If its one of ours, its either 19033 or 19039, the only 2 with the real radio adverts on their rears, god knows what is was doing up that way unless its failed on a 113 or being over there for work.
Well with 17019 not needed by Chorley and 17022 has yet to be reallocated so unless these are staying at Morecambe they could be used elsewhere to displace vehicles to areas with increased PVR's or go to those areas themselves? The problem with these PVR increases are the majority are for AM and...
