Yes, but with 3 sets of doors and 2 staircases, it's not exactly going to stand that many.....

With three sets of doors, and two staircases. I very much doubt if it will seat 87-passengers, unless it has 3 x 2 seating.

Snapped a pic of 20994 when it entered K-town (Keswick) at about 1-ish... Barbara was bombing it as usual! :lol: Also saw it on the return journey to Workington with the display showing "Workington X5". Thus proving it has been fixed :D

Just after it left me then... if the displays have been updated, it proves my theory that LL are either not programming the rear destys, or are programming them wrong... the one on 20994 works, but is now constantly blank (as it was today!), yet it worked when CE's info was programmed in!!

Just been taking to cainebj bout that E400...
My guess is for it to be freshly painted for the open day a fortnight saturday...

Its more than likely 19032, which has now returned south, seen heading in direction at Junction 32 this afternoon. Should be back in service at Frenchwood by the end of the week... all the Enviros are due for repaint in the next 12 months or so.

16328 as appeared back at morecambe for some unknown reason.
16664 is having the seats retrimmed and not having the seats out of 16655 as first thought, it will look a bit different with an LED blind and in stripes livery.
The future of 16655 is undecided as it as to go to head office in scotland before the decision whether to scrap it or save it.

What the heck is 16655 going off to Group HQ for?! Surely won't be scrapped if it's off there....

16328 will be heading back to Kendal no doubt...just like 20219 which entered service, withdrawn, then reentered service.

16664 will look great, I'm sure. Which reminds me, must doa photo upload sometime soon.

Kinda glad that 16664 isn't getting the seats from 16655.

Just very surprised it's gone so far up the tree, so to speak....

Good point, I wonder if they are having a big issue with the Olys nationally...
Click to expand...

I'm no expert, but apparently this has something to do with poorer-quality materials used in the construction of the chassis than on their Leyland Ancestors... Which is why so many are starting too feel the strain, yet the leylands are soldiering on!!

Proof that British leyland may have made some appalling cars, but some fantastic commercial stuff! In the event of nuclear war, all that would be left would be Cockroaches and Limpys!!! :lol:
