They were regular performers on 106 Penirth - Kendal service. A bit odd looking, but sounded OK.
would make sense to have them at Lillyhall really.
20757, 20759, 20761, 20765, 20768, 20777 and 20779 will be the only K reg B10M's left once everything settles down (which could be a while).
20777 isn't fitted with tacho, so that wouldn't stay. 20765 is really showing its age, and considering both Paladin's are Tacho fitted, they'd be reasonable replacements.

52268 on a Private Hire job (most likely day trip, so it should really have had "Excursion" on it).
It was on Private Hire for the retired employees xmas dinner. All excursions have been cancelled following the bridge closures which have meant the pick ups cannot be done in a reasonable time

as i've said before, as a passenger who often sits very near the back, it can be pretty rough and uncomfortable. it does pick up speed well though, unlike the 3 ex Barrow refurbed B10M's.
hurts me to say it, but the R9-XVM's we have are so much better than the K's! travelled on 20962 on short 300, it picked up speed pretty quickly, was very smooth, and a very comfortable ride!
OI!, leave me alone, I'm supposed to be having a week away from all this ..
ALX400, hello, i have my suspicions on who you are, and its about bloody time you posted on here instead of just watching me!! and never mind 20130 going, let's get rid of that god awful 20750 first!
ive enjoyed your tales of woe dave 20750 will be going as soon as its been tarted up a bit few panels to replace n paint and its awa together with 20130, no replacements needed for those, just waiting for a replacement for 16877 tbc looking like either 16664 or 16665
will also be looking at getting rid of a few other B10m's and replaced with olympians, our current olympians are going to be repainted and have some TLC spent on them once we have rolled out all the scania's and all the tridents have moved on, we want to keep the good name of our depot going
all repainted, all inspected and all MOT'd for their new homes.shall be putting 15580 out tomorrow only few left to get into service now, 8 tridents left to go to new homes.
Oh before i forget, the first set of scania servicing has begun starting at 15563 and whilst they are there they have benn " tuned " for more power which is a welcome boost, certainly tell the difference....some have completed almost 4000-6000km already believe it or not.

20918 will be right. It was stored at Morecambe after Barrow turned it down.
I really hope Chorley don't get 16664/5, it'd make more sense to get a long ex-Preston olympian really.... (No disrespect to Chorley, it just makes sense for Morecambe to keep that part of the batch together)

I'd agree, we have 16669 16670, nothing set in stone yet though things change on a daily basis regarding fleet movement with just one phone call....watch this space

There you go, do you see my prediciment now, i go ahead posting some blistering breaking news, and it all changes in a phone call five minutes after i post it.. even ALX400 can't confirm it all and he's a lot closer to it all than me!
As for the Scanias, i noted most of them are counting in miles, and one i had the other day had notched up an even more impressive 6,000+ miles, and that was last Friday - I am assuming the high use ones are getting caught in that loop i posted about previously, which led to Tridents varying mileage, noted 18139 was the only one i have seen clocking over 300,000 yet other tridents had less than 250,000..

Looks like an F reg Leyland to me...
Also the underpass at the Uni will be closed to pedestrians from the 14th of this month to the 8th of January as they are doing work on the underpass and Alexander Square. Buses will stop near Bowland (Chaplaincy Centre).

Great stuff wonder what's going up next...
Traffic was quite bad in town this evening most 2/2a services running in pairs and two 3's following each other from the bus station. The 4 I was on (21007) was running 20 mins late and the driver was told by little Dave to just carry on and call Neil when she got to Combermere.

Dont think anything will be going up for repaint until after christmas and new year period.
There was a accident or something a lot of police bikes and a gritter on morecambe road near the junction to scale hall lane wonder if that caused the traffic problems??
Blimey, seeing 2 forum members in the space of ~10mins...whatever next!
Must say things were rather messed up tonight - the 1620 Halton turned up at 1637, so that's about 30mins late as it nearly always arrives at 1610.
The 556 was the fullest I've ever seen it leaving Lancaster (but not the fullest ever, that goes to the 1010 in summer leaving Kendal), due to the use of a Trident on stand 10 instead of booked 14208.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
F713 LFG, with Rogers, Bestwood Village.
SCNW sightings from me:
20711 on the 552 (I think); I have a feeling KL may have been suffering due to having standard B10Ms trapped in Lancaster.
1832x has an advert on the staircase for Megabus...!
Other than that, can't think of anything.

18141 should be up in carlisle by the weekend for repaint, if not already, then from there to barrow, 18143 to follow.47008 (51 plate) may well be on its way out aswell
had enough of that one 15578 fresh on the road today :roll:
15580......................monday :roll:
47008 (51 plate) may well be on its way out aswell
its apparently going to Kendal, but we'll see.
if its not Kendal to replace 33166, it'll be to Lillyhall with 47001/2 to replace the 3 Marshalls here.
