Stagecoach North West Discussion

[Mshaplin]

47005/007/021 so I'm led to believe

47247 and 47249 (YN04 XYW/Y) have been withdrawn and are going back to LCC, 47248(YN04 XYX) is still in service, any idea whats replacing these?

Seem to be lots of the 192xx series now in MagicBus colours and working on the 142/143. Riches to rags this morning when MagicBus 17634 turned up on the X41 with a very faded destination board which necessitated the driver pulling up at all stops with any passengers and ensuring that any intending X41 passengers didn't let it go past, and also of course telling any MagicBus passengers that this was a limited stop service to Altrincham and not on this occasion a MagicBus service. Bit of a poor show really, was that all Sharston could dredge up?

Chester's Mini Enviro 200 36071 was working out of Gillmoss on the 10C today, very poor show tbh

36072 also appears to have moved from Chester to Gillmoss.

Only for a Repaint ahead of a Contract gain for Chester

36071/2 Are for an Asda Contract

Are any of Wigans New Enviro 300's in service yet? how many 200's have gone to Stockport?

17199 in service from Lillyhall today

 

[Y961 XBU]

Am hearing reports that 21007 had gained a major Fault and is withdrawn, can anyone confirm?

 

[mbonwick]

Towed to Morecambe depot on Monday after failing with gearbox issues. No decision on future yet as far as I'm aware, nor how serious the issue is.

I was driving through Westhoughton today and out of the corner of my eye saw an E300 with an SL64 reg, but then didn't see the fleet number. It caught me unaware as I wasn't expecting new buses!

 

[Y961 XBU]

The Following Magic Buses are sat in Wigan in Reserve/Withdrawn

13996 (R291 CVM) 17066 (T699 KVX) 17617 (V617 DJA) 17649 (X792 JHG) 17650 (X793 JHG) 18281 (W671 PTD) 18282 (W672 PTD) 18283 (W673 PTD) 18284 (W674 PTD) 18285 (V125 DJA) 18286 (V126 DJA) 18287 (V127 DJA) 18288 (V128 DJA)

I saw a 64 Plate on route into Wigan it left the depot at 5:49 this morning its fleet number ended in 7 had no adverts fitted and looked like first day in service looked immaculate

 

[mbonwick]

27207. Could well have been it's first day.

 

[darrenw29]

17197 now also in service at LL

Thats the Bus Mbonwick Also a Enviro200 entered the depot at 5:45 this morning which seemed odd to me

Just wondering if you have heard anything further about 21007?

 

[jonesy3001]

21007 is parked up in scrap corner unsure whats happening to it.

 

[Y961 XBU]

Not a good sign then, Cheers for your reply!

21007 is parked up in scrap corner unsure whats happening to it.

So does this mean reserve 20965 has taken its place on whatever duty 21007 is supposed to work?

 

[TheHovisKid]

Passed through White Lund earlier- there was a double decker parked on the back fence that seemed to have a lot more white on it that is usual. Anyone know what it was?

 

[jonesy3001]

Might have been this one, now awaiting the scrapman,

Esteem 28513 working the 125 this morning, not surprising since its half term. Having to show Stagecoach in the displays with a 125 number board in the front window.

Also, 15567 has had all route branding removed. Just the main Stagecoach logos remain on the sides and nothing else including adverts.

Want to ask if Preston have received anymore older ALX400 on top of 17036? I'm sure I saw one not long after seeing 17036 leave the bus station on a run to Blackpool.

 

[Whistler40145]

I've seen some older ALX400s working on the 68 out of Preston, the 61/59 route always seems to be the 13 Plate vehicles.

Also witnessed a Preston Route 3 branded single Decker at Kirkham, quite unusual.

 

[mbonwick]

17448 has also ended up at Preston, retaining it's dual door layout from London.

Is it group policy now not to remove the centre doors on cascade from London?
