52629 reinstated now that 20456 has been withdrawn instead.

She was on the 94 all day which also does some trips on the 38.

Thanks for the update. That would explain why I didn't see 52629 very often from my vantage point on Botchergate yesterday.

Just to note that 20944 and 20960 are still very much in service at Carlisle despite being "Off Fleet". Although 20960 is withdrawn every other week but comes back out when things go down the pan.

20219 is also still clinging on, just.

And 20219 passed by my vantage point today on a 38, presumably on the 94 diagram.

Haven't seen 20944 for some time.

there's a 1 day explorer ticket that you can buy on any stagecoach bus in the north west that costs £10. Basicly you can use it anywhere in Cumbria and Lancashire! you can use it up to Dumfries and over to Newcastle too!
you can use it on some smaller operators services too but not all, you would have to check carefully which ones.
there's a 3 day version that costs £20 too!

22610 was waiting for new fuel injectors at MAN. Think its back on the road. 15684-8 will be displaced by new vehicles

Yes - NW Megarider Gold. Can be used all over Cumbria, Lancashire plus 685 to Newcastle, 125 to Bolton, the Annan town services and god knows where else. Something like £25 for a week I think?

Old news, happened on the 16th Jan. Most vehicles that were marked for disposal are already waiting to go.

Thanks Gez, makes sense. Kendal-Lancaster is a fair way to run dead without BSOG.

I see on the latest fleetcard for Cumbria that two of the open toppers have been transferred to Stagecoach Highlands - 16294 & 16329. Maybe one will end up on Orkney where an open topper from East [I think] was used last summer

16393 has also gone up, along with 20949 it seems. So NW is now all low floor open top.

The East Olympian that went up last year was 16545, P545EFL.

Coach 52629 did a half trip on the 68 this morning. As rare of a working I have seen in years.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
76 branded 34713 on 62 today.

Reays are using Yellow Fiat YX12CHJ on the 95, still with legals for a company in Scarborough. Blue Works or something along those lines.

That was used recently by Harrison Coaches (T/A Battersby) on the Silverdale Shuttle Service.

Interesting that Reays are currently using two former Silverdale Shuttle buses, maybe they will end up running the Silverdale Shuttle one day.
