MAN on the 755 this afternoon.
14199 on D6
16663 still hasn't had an LED.
16664/5 on the 5.
Not much else to report. I agree with Mbonwick about Kendal. Maintenance up there is rubbish and if they can't keep solos the can't do anything! I take it the Marshall be only be replacing one solo and their not going to get rif off all of them lol.

maintenance isn't the best there, but it won't be as bad as how it seems.
KL removed 5 vehicles from service, but only recieved 4 solo's. this isnt helped by the fact the 04 reg solo's are due MOT (47055 has had its MOT done), and 47058 is sitting in Carlisle awaiting / undergoing re-paint (the 5th replacement).
then theres the problem of 8 vehicles leaving service with only 7 replacements being available (3 marshalls, 4 plaxtons, 30342 all leaving, with 3 51 reg solos and 4 04 reg solo's joining)

which depot is getting the newly arrived B10s or are they just stopping off for painting?
16447 and 20779 out on 300 today, along with 2 other Volvo Oly's.
16447 has dead LED, so has boards stuck to windscreen. i was a passenger on this, and can safely say that the annoying beeping sound on upper deck from the front is the most annoying thing i have ever heard! more annoying than the Crazy Frog!!!!!
34079 has finally done a full day of service with Lillyhall, and is currently out on Workington Town Evening Services! its side display is dead, and the rear one works when it can be bothered (first time i saw it, it said 46, next time it was scrambled, next it was 47, next it was scrambled, then later on it was filled with yellow, and later it was 47 very scrambled)
33169, 34079 and 47023 on Harrington & Seaton.
20894 was on 300 this evening with dodgey bright tech.
47024 and 47062 on Moorclose Circulars.
20752 (dead display, boards stuck on windscreen), 25225 and 35248 on 31 with 3 enviro's.
40025 was on Maryport Town 57.
40013 was around somewhere.
30 and 31 been messed up again. they were all running fine, then when i went to get the 31 to Maryport, it didnt turn up. then we had 300, 30 and 31 all turn up at the same time. the 30 ran empty to Maryport, and the 31 changed its displays to 30.

We don't know yet, I think Lillyhall is due a few to get rid of the knackered K regs and Carlisle may well get a pair to remove the slightly older Plaxton Paladin bodied examples.

Arent they the ones originally for Highlands? or am I getting them confused with another batch (sun-kissed brain at the moment....)

I think the Highlands ones moved up a few weeks ago and this is a second wave of sorts.
Spotted two Enviro 400's heading South past Kendal last night. Both were in red but on had roller blinds and the other and LED. The one with the LED had "National Express Midlands" on the side. The other I couldn't read but I thought I saw a small "go" written in green with an other word after it. Couldn't be sure though.

The "go" one will be for Go-Ahead London (or whatever their trading name is), ISTR they're something to do with the NatEx group.
driver9000 - the B10Ms for Carlisle are from the same batch as the Highland ones (ex-Manchester, 1997 order) but will be staying in the NW. As dallamlad says, Highland already have theirs. This has been planned all along - it's not a last minute thing.

The red one with rollers will be heading for London, possibly Go-Ahead London (London General/London Central) the parent logo now being more prominant.

Go-Ahead arent connected to NatEx. GA are quite a large company operating in London and the North East I think they also have Wilts & Dorset, Local identities were always retained but this seems to have changed recently with the London General/Central names being replaced with Go-Ahead London names although the 2 fleets were always inter changable and it wasnt unusual for us to be running Central buses on General routes and vice versa (especially the 37, 155 and 345). Back in 2001 NatEx had 'Travel London' but sold the operation to Connex if memory serves me rightly, and re-entered the London scene a few years later.
Thanks for clearing the B10 thing up, Ive been away for a bit and a little frazzled at the moment.......

Hi all just seen 2 ALX300 MANs from fife pulling into morecambe depot today witch were 22253-V253 ESX an 22256-V256 ESX not sure where there going yet just here for storage
Paul, they're off to Preston for the 16. No doubt we're holding them until the rest of the batch arrive and we'll be painting them etc as well I bet.
47003 and 47482 have left for Scotland...ie. this was a straight swap [so far at least]
