Stagecoach North West Discussion

[darrenw29]

By about 14.30 there was a bus jam in George Street, due to the builders having three wogans parked in Spring Garden Street, which buses could not get pass.

Were they Terry Wogans?????? Sorry!!

Lancaster routes back to normal after 1300
47249 back on the road, worked the 0938 7 Vale and the 08 and 38 rest of the day.
Look out for some more new buses in the north of area by Easter, not saying what that will be a suprise but they are a bit special

You've got everyone thinking about all sorts of things there, Gez [and yes, they will be quite suprised when they, hopefully, arrive before Easter]

Saw 18363 heading dead through Greaves, then turn around at the pointer roundabout and head back through Greaves then turning off at Booths into Hala. Not sure what he was doing but it was on the 2a later on.

I noticed this myself!, i followed it from Moorside to Hala, then when i was turning into the pointer aroundabout from Ashton Road, it was turning out of Greaves Road shown "Sorry Not in Service".

I can't see Carlisle getting new stuff for citi network, plus they've just had all them E300's for 79/179 and 104's, also I can't imagine lakes services getting brand new stuff either. So who knows...

capacity on some of the Citi services can be a problem though. often see standee's on 61, 61A, 62 and 62A. it can be varied though. sometimes its full with quite a few standee's, sometimes theres quite a few seats spare!

Sorry, Typo error. It's been another long day today (0615-1930).

i'd guess the R-NBV's would go somewhere else for further service, such as Barrow (to join 16655) or Carlisle (for 554).

I'll believe when i see it. It has happened before when she got asked about scania's and she turned them down!
17019 might be next for L.E.D conversion.

after Manchester being mentioned, it reminded me of a rumour from Stagecoach Manchester of 08 reg E400's leaving. if that rumour is true, could it be to do with that? maybe brought in to the Carlisle Citi Network...

 

[Dallamlad]

Oh this is driving me mad lol at least throw us a taste, area or something lol. Is it Lancaster lol if not I'm not as bothered hahaha

Would be nice to have something else on the 40/41 but as you say Gez will probs be knocked back.

I`ve got a feeling we might get the MAN engined tridents if manchester dont want them.

 

[Dallamlad]

Interesting thought, aren't they brand new? lol

I don't know what it can be its going to bother me for weeks!

 

[jonesy3001]

Nothing`s gonna happen, we`ll get knocked back and the 40/41`s will be still operated by the forever breaking down 17xxx`s.

 

[Dallamlad]

Indeed, we all know the S reg Tridents aren't right for the route what with their gearboxes etc.

I'm trying to think of something that would be a big surprise lol. TELL US I'M BEGGING YOU lol

He sure was I'm busy slaving over the laptop getting next months Trident sorted. The solo works the relief to the 8 o clock 40 as far as Garstang, and then relief to the 0755 ex Preston as far as Lancaster

What do you mean when you say you were working on the Trident?

Are we close?

Sorry not close

 

[Dallamlad]

Can we at least have a clue? Lol

 

[cainebj]

just been thinking about this "something special", and...

Barrow possibly? X35?
seeing as Stagecoach complained to Cumbria County Council about only being provided with 3 Trident's for the service when the route requires 4 buses!
