It would make sense tho as the PVR for the 300 is 5 isn't it and as we all know SC like to dish vehicles out in numbers 1 less then the PVR lol if you get one I mean haha.

My "listening" to buses continued today...
I Boarded 22611 this teatime to go from Workington Bus Station to the Bridge... and thought nothing of it... Until the bus pulled away, and had the loudest plasticky-vibrating (if that's actually a term!) noise i have ever heard!! all the way down to the bridge!! the driver seemed really p*ssed off with it! it was like a mobile phone vibrating on a wooden table, only VERY loud!!!!

Sounds good to me!

oh, and 47024 on 56/57/57a in Maryport today!
KendalKing was driving YN06 JFJ today (Plaxton bodied Vario) due to his more customary Solo springing a diesel leak!
18358 finally turned up on the 556 at 1635, bloody roadworks!
Little Dave was doing his nut this afternoon as 16663 was held up at Carnforth, so was late forming the 1610 42 (departed 1625)....he had nothing spare to replace it with. I tihnk something else failed as well, as he said he couldn't take anything off track to cover it as it was peak time.
20544 was on the 2
22806 on 1550 49, then 1640 55

Bit of a crisis on the buses this morning! Drivers were having to use emergency ticket pads as the Wayfarer ticket system went down this morning meaning a majority of the ticket modules were useless. Some drivers could use their modules as they signed on early this morning before the system went down. As I passed through Torrisholme this morning (about 8.45ish) a driver with a handful of modules was waiting for specific services there. They were also handing modules out at the bus station at about 9AM. Gez was dashing round with a phone glued to his ear. I assume the problem has been fixed and modules with continue to be handed out throughout this morning
Also in addition to Mbonwicks sightings:
47016 and 47022 both following each other into Lancaster on the 49. Not sure whether this was because one was late or because they doubled up the service.
16659, 17017 on the 2/2a
20131 ran the 2 to the bus station then headed back to Heysham Towers on the 2
47489 on the 89
47159 came into the bus station with 81a "Lancaster" on the blinds but headed off again into town with some Grammar lads on board.
16657 on schools then 42
14196 on 81a
22821, 20451 and 21005 out of service at the bus station after been on schools as mentioned by Mbonwick
17021 on 41
18362 out of service at the bus station after been on schools.

It'll be either 33164/T602JBA or 33165/T603JBA as they are already at LL in storage.
The East Lancs versions at Frenchwood are actually P454/5 DCW (33143/4), betting should be on 33144 to appear at Lilyhall sometime soon!
The Marshall bodied versions are 33163/71,2 (T601,9,10 JBA) which appear, with 33143 to be retained.
It should be noted that the 8s, 16s, 19s and 22s move back from Frenchwood to Deepdale depot this coming MONDAY along with them reverting to exact fare operation from that date, que chaos! The majority of the Scania's and the 2 Tridents at Frenchwood have been given their fare boxes back in preparation for the transfer of vehicles back over the weekend. Its likely the MAN's (22253,6,7/60/69/74) will fill the gaps left on Penworthams by the departing Scania's along with some of the newer Darts.
Seems strange we're regaining 47007, as there should be 3 Solos departing Frenchwood depot in the next few weeks (already noted on here).
No vehicle bigger than a Solo has yet been seen in the interim PB livery as yet.
