20777 on 50.
20903 on 51.
20962 and a Marshall on 47.
47023 on Harrington, was told it was on Moorclose this morning, with the other PO51.

me thinks some decent minibuses are needed in West Cumbria instead of the sh*te that is here!

I take it wasn't a practical course :lol:

Speaking of Travellers Choice, they appear to be doing some ground clearance work at their Carnforth base - a 12tonne skip and digger have appeared this week.....

The stream between the yard and the WCML is being cleaned out, in attempt to stop flooding in the fields oppsite pine lake.

The only way to sort the flooding out is to drastically deepen the whole river channel and bank it up a bit!

Can't see a little bit of digging doing much good, but we'll see.

20463 on a 2A in Torrisholme heading for Combermere Rd around 18:30ish.....

It was on the 2 heading toward the Uni at about 5.40ish. I assume it replaced something as I didn't see it earlier on in the day.

Also 16666 on the Sainsbury's bus I think with a broken rear blind/ Hopefully they'll panel over it!

16666 hasn't had its blind panelled over due to a misunderstanding (I think that's what Gez said?!) at Carlisle....hence why it also retains flip dots.

Interesting to not 20451/63 have gained the new style megarider adverts....

Suppose that could indicate that they are staying a little longer but then again it seems like only yesterday they put the orange stickers in!

I thought Morecambe forgot to panel over the rear end of 16666 lol.

As I understand, 16666 was sent to Carlisle with instructions to repanel and paint. CE did what you'd expect - left screens as they were.

Ahhh I see, shame they didn't do it the second time it went for paint lol.

Also sad to hear that there may not me any Morecambe and Heysham livery!

Noticed today that the front blind of 22805 had changing via points on the second line under the final destination. Not sure if this has been in place for a while but its the first time I've noticed it.

Any reason the underbelly of 33138 is been cleaned? I thought it was for scrap lol. Although actually it may have just come up for work I don't know.

An attempt has been made to re-programme it but for some reason it won't upload the data. It now awaits repair.

lucky that CE also have "Whitehaven 300" and "Carlisle 300" and "Workington 300" and "Cockermouth via Wigton 600" and "Carlisle 600" and "W.C.Hospital via Cockermouth 600" and "Penrith X5" on their displays! seems to be the only routes it has been on so far. not sure if they have "Workington X5" or not.

No they don't have Workington X5, just Penrith X5 and Keswick X5.

thought so. was told it was on X4 / X5 yesterday. its a great bus, but could really do with a tidy up! would be nice if something could be done about the drivers assault screen too! it was hurting my eyes :lol:

Most of the lo-liners do that if the front blind has university south west campus on the front.
Finally got to see the bus-race that was on top gear today as it was repeated on DAVE
(R.I.P 13272 D272JVR).

forgot to mention that yesterday, the Citi Dart on Carlisle - Silloth had lost its scrolling via points on the side LED. it was just showing "38 Carlisle", in the same font that is used when scrolling. i didn't see it leave on its way to Silloth to see if it had scrolling via points on that or not. all of the Citi services still had scrolling via points on side LED.

Just seen what looked like a Dart Spryte on the 89. I saw it from a distance (my house) passing Ripley school.

About 3 MANS and 3 S reg Tridents on the 2/2a today. 2 2005 Tridents on the 40/41 along with an Oly.

Any news on whats going on with 33138/44?

Only option with 33144 now at Lilyhall is 33143, although 33172 (Marshall bodied) was on loan to Fleetwood last week to cover a Versa which was at Optare in Rotherham under repair, so it could have been this one (notice how deep the skirt was? If above the line of the skirt pannels it would have been 33172 as this is the only one painted like this).
Its quite common for Frenchwood based Darts to cover the Versas when they're away, which often sees 84 branded vehicles in use at Preston until both vehicles are off the road and therefore available to swap back, 34473 also having spent some time there along with 34619. Odd for one to be on an 89 though, although I've heard either 47001/2 could be off the road already, so the possiblity is they've had a problem with one of the spare Solos.

22816 on 1610 55A, resulting in a very full 18366 on 556.

Nowt else exciting.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Here's an interesting fact that The Westmorland Gazette has just revealed;


The 555 dates back to the 1930s, with an almost unchanged route. However, it was only extended from Kendal to Lancaster in the 1980s....
