awesome stuff about 47617
they're ar*ing around with these solo's!!! they need to hurry up and decide what is happening with them!!!!!!
on the topic of Titan with LED, it could have just been reprogrammed with the writing not in bold, with something orange reflecting off it. thats why i thought 20759 at LL had LED, turned out just been reprogrammed bright tech!
Good to hear that the Routemasters have new owners. It'll give you a little extra space in the car park!
I'm surprised the Lynxs and Metroriders are still there. Thought they'd have been got rid of pretty quickly.
32917 OTR is a good thing, never know, it might get withdrawn this time round!

Last year all the open-top Titans, had roller blinds fitted. This one is definitely an LED.
10179 and 10728 have Bright Techs, and are the only ones left in Stagecoach North West.
10179 is currently in Kendal to cover for 17012 apparently. 10728 is still up in Carlisle depot, occasionally being used on Seatoller 78 when it decides to work, or the allocator decides to use it.

33167, 40013 and 40025 on Harrington & Seaton routes today.
40025 ran the busy morning Seaton service that is usually B10M operated!
a 51 reg solo was on Moorclose Circular 50 this morning but i didnt see which one.
33168 started out on Moorclose Circular 51, but that is now being operated by 20759. no idea where 33168 currently is, as i havnt seen the 50 since this morning.
20759 ran the Cockermouth X5 this morning.
35247 is the only midi i've seen on 31 today.
14234, 16733 and 16734 on school work this morning.
the only one on school work i saw after school was 16652.
32917 currently sitting on annexe, well, it was at 1555 ish
along with 40040 (info to go). i'm guessing 32917 is on layover from BNG or something.

Had 17021 on the 2a and its LED is of course looking very smart. Also spotted one of the MANS with CCTV which is good but it just needed a good repaint lol looked really rough!!
Interesting about that Titan although I guess when it is scrapped the LED can just be removed and stuck into something else lol.

47024 on the evening Cockermouth X5, so i'd guess it was 47024 on Moorclose Circular 50 earlier.
Versa has been out and about passing through Workington, so i'd guess it was on 31 as it was sat on annexe for a while, and the 31 service finishes early lol.
40025 been running around on Workington Town Evening Service.
40445 sitting in bus station not in service.

All low floor routes in Lancaster were low floor for a change! 22721 on the 2A, but that was the only unusual thing.
Northbound services are being severly affected by roadworks at Carnforth. the 1620 bus turned up at 1655. It was 18360, sounding, feeling and looking ill. It shut itself down while loading passengers and took several tries to restart. While it was running it felt very very rough and sounded terrible!

AWESOME!!!
thats maybe what they meant about a solo being "spare", as 32917 is just a "spare". i wonder if it will get used on the 30A, as that doesnt seem to attract many passengers (well, whenever i've seen it, theres only ever been a max of 10 people on it at a time!)
hopefully shouldnt be too long until all low floors back to normal then :-P
47617 repaired, 33169 shouldnt be too long now. just gotta hope reliability keeps up!
they need to hurry up and get the solo's for the 1! rumoured to be S reg or 04 reg, we'll just have to wait and see haha. one rumour i've heard is that they're not 470xx's, which is 51 reg and PX04 reg. the S reg's are in 471xx. as usual, it will be a "see what turns up" thing.
i'll see if my usual contact has heard anything else about the solo's coming to LL. will post info as soon as i hear from him!

"Another pair of Optare Solos arrived today from Fleetwood 47055 and 47061. 47016 is on the pits being worked on A bit of news on 17012 it is awaiting the reconditioned engine that was in 17020 when it suffered damage last year "
Any ideas where the solos are going anyone?

Oh 34079 good for you must have just come up from Lancaster. As we know it was working in Preston and then was put into store down here. Was wondering where it was going to end up. I assume its going to stay with you and isn't just up there for treatment.
