Reays Coaches, of Wigton in Cumbria, own 3 ex Stagecoach NW 709D's!
there's N647 VSS (still has all over branding for Honister Slate Mine), N452 VOD and N463 VOD. all 3 were purchased from Stafford Bus Centre. i havn't saw the VOD reg ones around, so i'm assuming he has those in workshops tarting them up into full Reays livery.

34616 wasnt around yesterday while i was out.
i havnt saw it today either, but i havn't been to Whitehaven to see if its popped up on 31A or 2.
wouldnt suprise me if it was stuck in workshops or something. being from Preston, it won't have been looked after that well (well, other stuff we've had from there hasn't been great).

34616 was on 31!!!!!
i got a pretty bad pic of it! will upload to my flickr ASAP!
as i suspected, it doesnt look the cleanest of things. and it looks pretty odd running alongside buses with LED's.
33168 on workington evening town services but 33169 took over.
47062 came back down from LL to run the Cockermouth X5.
33167's bright tech is frozen on "Excursion"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! side one showing "EXC"!
22607 was pulled off the evening 30 services, with 22595 going on instead. 22607 sat in bus station for a while with inspector walking up and down it. looked like something had been going on inside.
40013 came to annexe earlier on, so was probably on a Maryport service.
buses on 300 today were 16447, 16652, 16654 and 16734.

Stagecoach Fief are due new rolling stock, in the form of Double Deckers, so these 20 MAN double deckers could go there, for routes 7, 30, 32, 33, 34. The 9 Dennis Tridents at Stagecoach Fife are receiving new Engines, and the route 7 has a new increased frequency, hence the need for new deckers
34616 on 31.
doesnt look too bad on outside, but inside didnt look the best.

Apology accepted in regards to the Man Enviro 400's although i did get the Quantity wrong maybe the order is for 50 and the next 30 are subject to how the first 20 are perceived? I'm a big fan of Scania Man and Volvo Products so more Man's on the Manchester road Networks will be great news for myself and thats why i love my local 352 route as its dominated by Scania's/Volvo's and also why i like Slt and Stagecoach for there Man buses shame Arriva buy those awful VDL Pulsars as im quickly finding ways to not use them anymore.

Due to the appalling traffic conditions, this afternoon all buses in and around Kendal were running very late. At one point there were two X35's in Kendal at once!!!, 16332 & one of the X35 branded Tridents. The afternoon 445 QKS - Bowston ommitted the Town Centre. When I arrived at the Westmorland Centre at 1612, being due at 1547, there were already 3 other buses on the stand, a number of indending passengers started complaining about buses failing to operate.
Now for the other news & sightings
1050 755 Kendal - Morecambe was in the hands of a Trident, whilst the 1350 departure was in the hands of 16661. Nice to see Double Decks getting used on Market day, instead of single decks like normal on market days.
20774 now as its destination display working again.
I will be at Fleetwood Tram Sunday, this Sunday, So hope to see one or two of you there.

34216 was at Morecame Open Day, shoved in between 17012 and 11091. (that is not my pic lol).
i've now found out why 34616 didnt look too bad on outside haha. it was repainted at Deepdale before transfer to Lillyhall haha. apparently it spent its 1st 2 working days at Lillyhall having a good scrub down inside (sat 11th & mon 13th July). it'll have been needed if the 51 reg solo's and 04 reg solo's are anything to go by!

It had to happen sooner or later, due to a shortage of Double decks, a Solo on the 555 Service!!!, 47055 worked the 0705 Kendal - Gresmere, and the 0805 Gresmere - Lancaster, as far as Kendal when it was replaced by a Trident 18357, which had returned off a School Service.
14266, 16332, 18278, & 18279 on X35's.
33164, 33165, 47057, & 47058 on Town services.
20544 was on 1050 755 Morecambe Service, 166xx was on 1350 departure. I was unable to which one due to a HGV getting in the way.
