I thought that about the flip dots too! Wonder why we're swapping? - guessing barrow need high capacity vehicles or trying to make us more low floor - either way good idea I think

Yay 04s lol. Tridents with flip dots, makes a change haha.

I think it could be to do with how much time BAs Tridents are spending on school so ME will use them in day to day service whereas BA were only using them on schools so may as well have Olys. Could be wrong.

ME may replace the flip dots of course so they look like the 55s but I think if they are not broken they won't bother!

Well most of the MAN's still have them fitted so there won't be any problems from a programming point of view :)

16661 & 16662 have left.

2 more should be leaving in exchange for 2 Kendal Tridents.

Just the problem of reading the things after dark....

As long as the backlight works they should be fine.

The S/TRJ Mans we have are easier to read then LED in the dark.

True, i cen never work out why they're so hard to read in the X/SRM MANs compared to other things fitted with them- is it the same lighting? It's hard to see what the illumination is- could they be mounted too far forwards?

What was the accident?

47722 on the early evening 600, not sure if this was unusual or not.

They're only supposed to do schools, but in the event of a breakdown etc, can venture out onto regular service.


OK fair enough. Do you happen to know where 16661 has gone as it was the only Morecambe olly I failed to get a ride on in the summer?
