Andy,
Do you know what fleet names/legals have been applied to 20910?

20762 is waiting to get in the paint shop before being sold, and the Solos are being collected for Bluebird.

Gez was on the 556 today :P

More importantly, I got a ride on 47731 today. I must say I do like them, but the No Smoking signs are missing


Finally, can you explain the logic of 16655 being stored Jonesy? Or anyone that know for that matter!

Me thinks when lillyhall was refurbing their R-regs they didn`t do the chassis as well, that could be the problem. Shame really the seats are nice and fancy indicators at the back.

 

[mbonwick]

Ah, that'll be it.

The rear light clusters are Wrightbus ones

Refurbing them was a waste of time, they're well past their best! Although, 16655 was the best of the four when it was at Lillyhall. Then it went to Barrow :roll:

Gez was on the beer today

Langdale Tup "Its a sheep thing" bringing back memories of working for the Wool Marketing Board, thence up for a few Cumberlandn at the Lodge

33172 on the Knott End passing the Borough Club earlier

 

[mbonwick]

The Keys can't be using that sort of language on here!!!! The Lodge is ones local.

Got a meeting when I am back in Tomorrow Damside Street is being fully resurfaced in August resulting in the bus station being closed for that time. So we are seeing where we can put everything during that time

Thats gona be fun...

Good to hear we're getting some old stripes back!

 

[mbonwick]

About bloody time too!

Gonna be rather chaotic though, good luck!

 

[158757]

Not a moment too soon! Could be interesting though! After that they only have Common Garden St/Brock St, the bus station itself and Spring Garden Street and we might actually have roads that look like roads!

 

[andy 37]

20910 and 20945 have no fleet names and cumberland moter services as legals. hope that helps

 

[KendalKing]

I understand before that happens, we got the closure of King Street to look forward too with all traffic being deverted via Dallas Road!!!!
I for one Hoping its only going to be over night, or we can forget about any buses running to time.

33172 was on 89's yet again today!, when I was entering the bus stn at 13.00 it was departing with the late running 12.40 departure. 47483 was on the 14.40 departure, which 33172 had been on the last two days.

Could do with them at LL!

 

[mbonwick]

Assuming Cumbria keep all 5 B10Ms currently being painted, and they replace K regs, the number of regular B10Ms in service will be 4.

Get your pics/rides soon....I can't see them lasting much longer at this rate!

 

[pickles]

[mbonwick]

Mercs - they've got that award

K reg B10Ms - probably

On a different note, is there any height difference between 16184/5 and 16877? I think both are highbridge vehicles....

 

[cainebj]

20195 on short 300.

[jonesy3001]

The future of volvo oly 16655 is to be decided on monday, if it goes for scrap the seats will be taken out and put into 16664.
The last ex-glenvale solo 47160 has been withdrawn from service.

16664 really will be special!! Will ME use the LED from 16655 as well?

Glad to hear all the old solos have nearly gone!!!

Not sure till monday, but i think they will use it for 16665 and leave the spare on the landing.

 

[Dallamlad]

Should stick it in 16666 and panel over the rear end lol.

Not sure whether I'm keen on the idea of 16664 getting those seats...

 

[cainebj]

20759 on X4.
20757, 20761 and a B10M with flip dot on SL Ltd Contract. i'm told 20757 was on X4 earlier on.
20195 on short 300 again.
16652, 16654 and 16734 on normal 300. i didn't see the 4th vehicle.
34616, 35248 and 35249 on 30 and 31 with E300's. i didn't see any step entrances on it.

33169 on 50. was replaced by 20923 for a run due to running rather overly late.
47059 on 51.
47005 and 47006 on Harrington.
47007 and 47062 on Seaton 47.

52635 and 2 B10M's on schools.

apparently 47616 and 47617 are to be tacho'd up for them to work the evening X5's to Penrith (1915 and 2115 departures from Workington). would be wise to tacho up an extra Solo too, so the 1915 and 2115 can stay minibus operated for when one of the 08 Solo's are dead!
