It well could do but the last time I saw it it had no external cameras. Speaking of which one of the cams on the rear left side of one of Kendal's Tridents has been bent back so its pointing at the sky lol. Not much use like that haha.
I'd be interested to know how that happened 
Can't remember which Trident I was on coming back (didn't look), but the pole holding the mirror was rather bent and a bit rusted. Also the machine didn't register NOW Cards.
BTW, I see these cards can no longer be used on services where more than half the seats can be booked in advance.

Well the depots quite crowded so I guess it just got clipped but another bus. Either that or a tree lol. We had a Trident on D6 today and it was filthy lol.

Top back middle seat with the leg room lol
some of these have gone / maybe gone already, but the 3 709d's being displaced by the 3 Marshall Darts at Lillyhall are apparently 40001 (to Reserve), 40006 (to Barrow) and 40394 (to Reserve).
does anyone have any idea for definate which solo's from Preston are going where? i was told 47003 & 47004 or 47016 & 47017 to Lillyhall, then i was told 4 of the 04 reg's, but now i'm being told the 5 04 reg's are going to Barrow and the 4 51's are coming to Lillyhall. i think i'll wait until it actually happens lol. too much gets said and never happens! sometimes sources have correct information and sometimes they don't.
i've just been in contact with my usual source again, and the information he recieved came from someone at Perth, but he won't tell me who for privacy reasons. Maryport Town 57 won't be low floor this year, but after 300, X4 and X5 are sorted out, then plans will start to be made for 57. apparently any vehicle at Lillyhall can be used on the 57 (apparently the long wheelbase oly's can fit around the route. never been around the route myself so not sure how true that is), but it is more common for a minibus to be used due to the low amount of passengers, these being mostly pensioners apparently, using their NOW cards.

most unusal thing I noticed today was Optare Solo 47159 heading towards the University on a 2A passing the Boot and Shoe.
33167 is back on Harrington & Seaton.
40651 is on Harrington & Seaton.
47023 is back on Moorclose Circular 50.
20768 and 20779 both sitting on the annexe.
i noticed 33168 still has a sticker just above the fuel cap, saying "this bus has been re-painted. do not wash for 2 weeks" then it has the date wrote on in marker. the date looked to be 20/01/2009 but not sure lol

Currently 3, 47018-20 and 14, by my count, 709Ds.
So at a rough guess it could be anything up to about 8 from Preston I guess.

Morning,
As I was driving a Stagecoach In The Fens service 45 to Cambridge yesterday along the A14, I passed the former 15376 which was heading west. Any idea who owns it now?
Very Best Wishes,
Bob.

Are Lancaster hard up for low floor buses at the moment? one of the 04 reg Solos was having a turn on the 3 around 12:00 passing the Infirmary heading for the University.
As an update to my post yesterday, its actually Stagecoach Oxford 34006 sitting in the yard at Blackburn missing its front offside.

i noticed S665 SDT was out today on a day trip to Metro Centre.
22611 was on 31 and only has stagecoach logo on one side of the bus.
33167 is on Moorclose 51.
25225 on the 30.
40445 still running around with destination boards.
14234 was on school work with " 46" on side display (makes a change from 666 or 999 or 123 or 789).

hopefully lol. i'm not a fan of the marshall darts, but i'm a good fan of solo's haha. solo's have a better ride, change gear much smoother (when i was on 33168 it banged into gear, could have just been the driver in a bad mood though lol). also, solo's don't rock around much lol, whereas the darts do (being Dennis lol).
