H driver9000 They look like the ones we had but ours were single door. When we first had them they were on the 700 Portsmouth to Brighton route and they used to go well.

If what I have been told is true, even the R reg's wont be on the 300 in 2-3 months time!
Does that mean these are rotten too or are replacements on the way?
No, I wouldn't have thought so. Bike racks were fitted to several B6s at Kendal last year, but they have all since gone.
30342 was fitted with one as well, but it was removed AFAIK.
So in effect, it's just gearing up for the summer season.
30342 is actually a B6BLE.

Replacements for the 300 in the form of new vehicles [so we're told]
So the the R regs will maybe head to Barrow or elsewhere for schools. You never know, one or two might just end up in Lancaster to replace 14204/8.
but we'll see lolthey'd be nice! would feel odd going to Carlisle on a single deck if they do come though, especially when there is a Carlisle match on! would get busy!
they need to get something sorted for the X5 and quickly! joncks are really nasty!

Looks like a rear steering axle on that coach....
Would they not be suitable for the X4/5, or are DDs are requirement due to increased usage?
I would have thought that the 300 would stay double deck, but obviously not if they are considering single deck coaches.

Pickles, 47019 is at Barrow, it is indeed ex-Preston (Frenchwood depot)
The N regs are still at Morecambe being debranded and having a bit of attention. Expect them out and about with you in the coming weeks, I will let you know when/if Gez emails to say they are on their way.
Do we know the fate of the F reg Barrow Olys yet? Or is it just going to be another problem for K768DAO?! (More buses at LL=less car park space!)

they're 56 seat without wheelchair, or 53 with wheelchair i think, can't remember.
i personally think it will go horribly wrong, getting more people to se the bus, and not have the capacity to carry everyone, but we'll see, i could be totally wrong lol.

Not sure what you mean there, AFAIAA most of the salvagable Lo-Liners came to Morecambe, with a few staying in Carlisle.
The 2 F reg deckers, F 296/7 DRJ, 13296/7 are indeed at Deepdale. Orginally only used for school, in the last few weeks they have been venturing further afield, and failing further away from the depot.
By comparison, Manchester had some earlier examples of the batch (F28x and F 291-4 DRJ) which they sold straight for scrap once they were finished with last month.

Will the nasty L reg Drat be getting replaced when it retires??? I still think its a bit rough that Lillyhall has been given patched up ten year old Darts for the 46/47 instead of something better. Some of the Mans that were refurbed after the floods have just left Yorkshire for Bluebird in Scotland, Most of the 53 reg Darts ended up in Scouseland but a couple have sinced moved to Preston on Citi 3
