Stagecoach North West Discussion

[cainebj]

hoping it was just parked outside the paintshops waiting for someone to take it to somewhere else to move it somewhere else!

Perhaps it will be a short term replacement for 13297, as LL have its replacement for forseeable future!!!

 

[Dallamlad]

Moving around yet again then!

 

[Gez.SCNW]

The simple answer is that i don't know, maybe ME are having problems with the suspension and rear axles on their Tridents, like KE did not that long ago!
Hopefully Gez.SCNW or Jonesy3001 will know more!

Cant help with that I'm afraid, up in Glasgow for a few pints of heavy

 

[mbonwick]

Hope you're enjoying yourself Gez, it's always good to get away for a while!

Stagecoach press release today - they will spend £11 million on 56 new hybrid double deckers for Manchester and Oxford. I don't suppose this will have much effect in our neck of the woods, but it seemed interesting anyway.

There was something on another forum about this, the Dragons listed for sale and something about Olympians..

Will do some digging..

As for the Scania with a borked blind, i remeber seeing it, but can't think which one it was

18151 was hunted down and given the new coastliner branding, interestingly they haven't touched the back, which leads me to believe it might be another candidate for a 'full page ad' on the rear..

thought they'd have had that programmed in by now, especially as the Bright Tech's have it programmed in since it started last week.

47006 and 20765 on annexe.
47617 sitting in bus station at Harrington stand (it was around 25 past 11 when i went past, so town services will have been on Seaton side, but they obviously can't go there at minute).

I thought they was getting rid of the bri-tec blinds and changing them to hanovers as the company that made the bri-tec blinds went bust?

On the rather dry topic of displays.... the 56reg Dart I saw today hadn't been programmed to show Tesco Free Bus. Was showing Private Hire :roll:

I noticed the scrolling displays on the Mirehouse services today, They just say "via Meadow Road, Mirehouse Shops, Calder Avenue and Whitehaven" on the 4, with Calder Avenue and Meadow Road swapping places for the 3.

Went to Egremont today from Whitehaven, there was a H-Reg Double Decker on the 30A, very slow going up the hills out of town and through Hensingham

20919 on Maryport-Workington Shuttle


40028 on Cockermouth 58 at around 3:20PM.... The driver of which ran straight through a red light at curzon street traffic lights as i was coming down to cross from the town centre to go in a cockermouth direction. i was not at all best impressed, as the light must have been red at least 5 seconds before he shot around the corner across my path, causing me to veer left and hit the kerb on my exit of the junction, blebbing and puncturing one of my car's rear tyres!!! To say i was Livid is an understatement! I didn't recognise the driver, but he slowed traffic to a slow crawl as he stopped to have a "quick chat" with the driver of 20919 stuck in traffic going the opposite way!
