Yes, 18362 was released in April 2009 as catalogue number 1042. shows route 40 Morecambe

Corgi released 2100 in Stagecoach swoops livery, not the greatest model to be made but a bonus that they modelled the original. EFE released 2170 in Timesaver livery - in my view a better model that looked more like the ECW body.

saw too much today to remember hahaha.
both 51 reg solo's on Moorclose Circulars.
33168, 33169 and 47062 on Harrington & Seaton.
20734 out on 31.
20763 on 31A.
20779 replaced 52626 on X4.
20768 on X5.
16447 on 300.
14257 on SL Ltd Contract (it is displayed a lot smaller than on LEDs!)
20765 and 20759 were out on 300/301 evening.
16653 out on 300 as well.
Carlisle's 20994 on 300. display was blank, A4 paper stuck on windscreen with "300" on. i find this odd as CE's buses with digital tacho's were all programmed with 300 in the displays!!!

i will be uploading all my recent pics to my Flickr photostream ASAP.

Was a MAN on the 49 today which looked odd lol.

Bet the driver had fun getting that down Norfolk St and at Lunesdale View!

17023 working a 6A at ASDA this afternoon around 16:00, unusually only showing a destination of 'Morecambe Bus Station' no number on the top blind or window boards - I know Tridents definitely have a plain 6A on the top blind so I'll presume the winding gear was broken.

20795 on the X1 this morning heading up Great John Street.

What annoyed me was their was a MAN on the 49 but then 20451 on the 3/4 lol ahhhhh bless SC lol. Yeah your probs right about the blinds been broken on 17023. It may be next up for an LED and interior refurb seeing as its got CCTV. However I doubt they plan it just see what ends up in the shop then use the time to do LED fitment/refurb while they can.

also heard today that LL's Optare Versa (25225) will soon be moving to Preston and will be replaced by one of their Dennis Dart SLF's!! I don't know how true this is but it does seem quite logical.

i've also heard about that!
personally, i'd have thought it would be better sending it to Morecambe, then they can make the route they have all versa, instead of versa's with a solo.
i don't see why the 2 needs to be operated by a midi. i've never saw more than 10 people on it at a time. they used to manage with a 709D, so they could surely manage with a solo.

34079 hasn't had time to get the full attention it needs from the LL fitters.

Also, Preston is jsut as logical as Morecambe for the Versa. For the Coastliner services (I think it is) that Fleetwood O/S operates, all the Versas and 1 Solo are required.

Preston have 3 LWB Marshalls, a 53 reg Pointer Dart, and some 04 reg Pointer Darts.
33163 is 40 seat apparently, whereas the other 2 are 36.

Marshall body would make a bit of sense like, considering we have 33167/8/9

wouldnt suprise me if they did lol. Lancashire seems to get all the better stuff, and we in Cumbria get the sh*te.
T611 is Kendal's/
Preston's are T601, T609 and T610.
there others are PX53 DJV (is that one of Carlisle's that were flood recovered?), PX04 DRZ, PX04 HTT, PX04 HTU, PX04 HTV, PX04 HTY and PX04 HTZ.
i'd like to think we get PX53 DJV really, as its kinda odd in Prestons fleet. they should brand it for the 2!

as for 34079, its useless! whats this, the 4th breakdown since it arrived? been in workshops around 2 week since it decided to turn annexe into an oil version of an ice rink

its hard to predict like. i can't see them sending one of the other 04's here, cos the numbers follow on, whereas with the ones from Carlisle, they don't.
34473, 34579, 34616, 34617, 34618, 34619 and 34620.

personally, i'd like one of the Marshall's, and have it branded for 2.
but one of the favourites at the minute, is if a dart breaks down, they'll take one off 31 / 31A and put it on the 2, leaving B10M on one of the Frizington's. or, as i saw today, a B10M on each, with versa no where in sight, well, i never saw it all day haha.

Good news about the Versa should have happened a long time ago! Be interesting to see what you get for it lol.

Couple of funny working today with 22824 on the 55 to Warton and 18363 on the 55A to the Kellets. 30281 is still in service despite both 47016/17 now been fully operational.

17021/24 on the 2/2a. One of Preston's 07 plate citi solos on the 89 as well.

The X35 brand Tridents, & 16335(?) on X35's.
18363 on the 755.
20456, 20711, 33165, 34212, & 47056 all made appearance on Kendal Town services.
47057 was on the 09.50 505 Kendal - Coniston.

Is 33173 (T611JBA) re-allocated to LL or is it having a bike rack fitted, so it can replace 30342 ?

What time was 18363 on the 55A at, as it was on the 09.50 & 13.50 755 from Kendal.

33173 is remaining at Kendal. will probably be in for servicing or something, unless its for MOT.
30342 is supposed to be replaced by a solo, along with the 3 remaining SWB Marshall's. it may well be that bike rack is fitted to 33173 though, with a solo replacing 33173's duties.

any updates on 34079? the useless pile of scrap metal as it should be known!

18363 left the bus station on the 55A at about 4.45. I saw an Volvo Oly on the 755 on my way home so they may have swapped.
