Noted that it's been missing from the 300 for a while now. It's been 16651/3/4 and either 16734 or 16447.
16654 seems very slow off the mark these days

Not as slow as 16653, dreadful bus! I've been off so I didn't know about 16652,
TBvH, Anything that has been roped in to LL to do 300/1's has been killed by the route iver a period of time, the 1665x's were decent when they first arrived from Chorley, and the P-VCK NCME examples were half decent when they first came too... It's going to take one hell of a solid drivetrain combo to tackle the route in terms of newer vehicles. AFAIK the only vehicles that really stood the test of time with that route were the K-DAO SWB Olympians!

The K-DAOS were on from new though, and lasted a good 7 years until the VCK'S arrived... and 134 is still going fairly good to date... the Leylands were just that little bit better than the volvo replacements, but i suppose that is pure opinion!

14234 (or 1034 as it was) is still a very smooth bus, it just lacks power in comparison to how the Volvo's used to be. I would think that the Scania's will be around for along time, they are supposed to be very good.
TBH, i still know the deckers by the 10xx numbers!! :roll: haha (as Cainebj will vouch.. - i used to confuse him!) Shows my age! the scanias are supposed to be good, but a lot have been delivered with issues as of late i believe... i just hope these issues have been ironed out of lillyhall's!!

Are they going to brand the west cumbria scanias as they are not with the morecambe ones probably because on sundays they may run on the 2A or the 42

Somebody made a mistake putting a scania on the 2a's.
I wonder if the R-NBV's will end up like this

the 1545 50 was missed out. 20130 sat on the annexe, leaving everyone to cram onto 47006 on the 1600 51!
47617 is the other bus on Seaton.
20195, 20902, 20923 and 16647 on 30 and 31!
14257 done a catch up Moorclose Circular.
20919 flying around Staff Shuttle.
20921 on short 300.
16734 on full 300. i'm told 16651/3/4 are the others.
20913 on 53.
traffic has been rather ridiculously bad in Workington. various buses on 30 and 31 have been running late, and 1 driver decided to run his bus earlier than timetabled!

all present and correct! I spent the afternoon in Carlisle, and spotted all four!
Usual Flurry of Darts and E300's flying around!
20977 on CE's mid afternoon 600 run
I followed 16651 home as far as Wigton... surprising turn of speed!!

What a shame... 16655 was LL's best during her time here!

Layover on the X58.I also spotted a citi dart on Brampton 685.

Most likely!
I walked past a row of four CE Darts this aft... 34048 and 3 of the Citi darts... The citi's all made their own strange noises... one a squeal, one a bang, one a knocking noise... FOO sounded the healthiest of the bunch!!!

16652? Hmmmmm!
This was parked outside the Body shop as if it had been delivered and was waiting for its next duty out.

Was it not 16653? Thought 16652 was VOR... It hasn't been service with LL for about two weeks.

Might even get a re-trim,
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
16714 on Workington Shuttle for a few runs this morning, has since been replaced by 20910.
20195, CWO and CWP on 30/31.
20129 on 50
20130 on Staff Shuttle still showing "Moorclo" after the display broke yesterday :roll:
16651/3/4 and 16447 on 300 this morning.
Last but not least, 20473 on short X5 this morning
Sounding much healthier than when I last saw it!
