Change to Lancashire Services

Timetable changes

Service Update

From Sunday 27th June, the following changes will be made to part of our Lancashire Network:

Service 42 Lancaster – Garstang – Blackpool

Kirkby Lonsdale Mini Coaches will operate the following Monday to Saturday journeys on behalf of Lancashire County Council:-
1900, 2015 & 2130 Lancaster to Blackpool
2015, 2130 & 2245 Blackpool to Lancaster

Valid Stagecoach tickets will continue to be accepted for travel.

I presume that means that Explorer and 7 day Megarider Gold Tickts will be valid on these service.
I'm plannning to use a £24 7 Day Northwest Megarider Gold Ticket at the end of July when I am staying with friends in Blackpool. From past experiences I have regulary used the evening services on Route 42 to get back to Blackpool. I don't want to board one of these Kirkby Londdale Mini Coaches in Lancaster to find a driver that hasn't heard of my ticket and says that it isn't valid.

47007 on 50, although we hate the KX51 solo sheds, they could do with a little repaint and a little tarting up :lol: bottom of the sides panels are dented and buckled and 47007 is missing a side camera. In addition, when I was on 47007 today (in fact any of the KX's) going over speed humps and bumps in the road all you here are knocking sounds, hopefully just the suspension. Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm sure when we got 47005, 47006 and 47007 from preston in november that they got repainted and 'tarted up!'
Harrington got pick of the bunch today with 47617 and 47474 :)

Just back from town on 22807 - horrible vibration in reverse and at idle from somewhere - seemed like the front oddly - then again with one of the back windows shaking loose as well it was difficult to tell.

I remember sitting at the back of KL's Leylands to and from school and when they were stationary they shook like hell lol.

14195 on 81B
20131 on 55
18326/63 on 40
16668 on 42
47730 on 49

Travellers Choice had their technical support van out as one of their solos failed at the bus station while working the 8a.

Anyone happen to know what KLCH are using on the evening 42's? Last night would have been the first night they operated the service after taking it over from SC.

End of August for the remaining 4, but as they'll be on 60 plates, they won't appear in service until September.

PVR for 40/1/2 - 8
Number of N230UDs ordered - 8

Where's the problem?

42 is a totally separate route that isn't covered by Scania E400's :p
PVR for 40/41 Morecambe - Preston = 8
HO have 42/80/81 down for 3 B10M's and 3 MANs, but its down to the depot what they use and what is available!
