    Loan from CE due to defected Scania. 16714 should be at Barrow still, part of their reserve fleet. It was part of the Morecambe reserve fleet prior to Barrow.

    47009 entered service with Lillyhall this morning. Was on Moorclose 51, then pulled for 16666. Seems to be spending the rest of the day on 46's/47 towns.

    Yes. I was under the impression they had lots of nice buses? My bad. Throwing a Solo on non-easy access West Cumbria services was obviously priority today.

    Nah, they just hate Reays because they are like a bad smell, except no one can work out what the bad smell is as its full of lies and deceit . Firstly, dropping off NoW card holders off at their door isn't gonna make you money.... Its about making money not friends or nit picking at what...

    Ex-Barrow East Lancs Trident 18280 now fully refurbed after extensive works at Norfolk Green and recently put into service. 18278 looking ready to go from a rear end picture, but none of it in service yet.

    Its a shame Lillyhall don't use scroll via's anymore, or any via's at all for that matter! Looks a lot more professional and obviously helpful to none-local passengers. On my outings this Easter back at home its surprising how much passengers ask the driver "does this bus go to such-and-such" -...

    After seeing her in the depot of her new home, I finally caught up with ex-Stagecoach North West 33163 which has been acquired by A-Line Coaches of Pelaw in Gateshead. Interior and exterior photos are here for those who are interested. :)

    I think they should have stuck to how they were operating as a coach business with a few rural routes and perhaps the odd intercity work. If they carry out what they have planned with the press announcement, I'd say its a viable option for them. They have sampled the big world of city and...

    I've been told that 20918 will be taken off fleet once both 22608 and 22609 have had new fuel injectors fitted. 22608 is still out polluting at present!
