16665 heading to Willowholme this aft
16353 looking smart in new paint at the depot

Dont know if anyone has seen this but spotted a short single decker in Reays livery at bridge end, branded for the 75, think it was PX10CNF but I was driving so could be different last three letters

There are at least two Primos. I have seen two today, both in Reays livery with route details and the CityHopper name above the windows. One is definitely PX10ACF, the other registration I didn't catch. Going out later to have another look

Oh my thats awful! what a horrible accident!

I could not agree with you more, about it being a very horrible accident!

The first i knew about it was about 6.15am yesterday morning, when i was starting work, as the private coach referred to in the article was in fact a Travellers Choice coach which was stationary at the bus stop at the time of the accident.

I myself found it to be upsetting, not only because one of my colleagues was involved, but also having to drive pass the scene and see the yellow police markings, and the pool of blood on the road surface.

Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing it is another not nice at KendalKing!

I'm guessing it was on Carlton runs not that it matters...

I've been told that there are three. So I'd guess that the third one isn't branded for the 75.

some of the buses that came out of Carlisle sept 09 were partially repainted for further service.
20107, 20435, 20436, 20894 and 20994 i think were just touched up (mainly red and blue). the white parts were left.
20219 had a full repaint. not sure on 20474 or the R-XVM that Barrow gained from Carlisle (can't remember number. was 208xx).

Had Paul working with 20131 to the Uni this morning. I'm guessing it was a 4 but the blinds only showed "University" which I think looked quite cool :)

Spotted an Oly on the 2a from a distance so couldn't see the number.
Oly on a short 3 with 18363
20544 on X1

Been in Annan all day... noticed a few things, but didn't get many fleetnumbers! lol

20904 was in Annan town centre, behind an UID SC Western Plaxton Beaver this lunchtime.

A 179 branded Enviro 300 (possibly 34123)

Also spotted 33076 in Annan town centre... sounded a very healthy little bus this one... (6Cyl engine, this one - if i'm right... quite a rarity for a MPD)

14209 heading north to carlisle from penrith direction on the M6, at a rather sprightly pace, at about 5:15 showing "666" on the rollers!

16661 doing the honours on 55A, and a very healthy souding 18355 on 556!

I didn't think you'd stoop as low as Maccy D's KendalKing.

I think, this time, I'm not even going to try and guess what the numbers mean, beyond the fact that it's something to do with Lancaster......
