Stagecoach North West Discussion

[Dallamlad]

It's got in the window of 20127 awaiting reallocation and it is in reserve, merseyside's 20802 is the B10 you might be thinking of with the engine trap up and 14199 went back to kendal this afternoon.

Cheers Jonesy I thought I remembered you saying 20127 was for reallocation not disposal. Must have got the two B10s confused

KL have really been putting of withdrawing 14199. Good job they didn't really seeing as the 2 NC's aren't there anymore!

If you mean 16184/85 then you should surely know that 16184 went to Preston and 16185 is sitting at Morecambe awaiting a new engine, its been a regular topic of conversation on here for a while.

Yes but why did it go to preston and is 16185 comin back to KL after new engine

Preston needed it to cover their PVR increase. They are doing a lot of extra college work. I imagine 16185 will not return to KL, as it is to tall to fit under a bridge on part of the 555 route.

Oh right thought they might put it on schools

Yeah you're right most of the time it would be I'm sure, but now and then an Oly or Leyland can stray onto the 555 and in the summer they run extra 555's between Kendal and Keswick which are usually Leyland operated. 16185 couldn't do those short runs.

Might swap 16185 for a volvo oly from preston/chorly/morecambe/other cumbrian operations

Indeed very possible, send 16185 down to Preston to jion 16184 and send a more suitable Oly back to KL.

Jonesy mentioned a few pages back that it is awaiting a slot in the garage.

Also according to the online fleetlist all of Yorkshires Scanias have arrived so MEs should be due very soon!

22816 is next up for repaint, ironically it was the last lo-liner to be painted into the swoops when the colour scheme was introduced.
To many long words here going for a lie down. lol

when are the s reg tridents going for a repaint i think they should have been done before the MANS as there in terriable condition

 

[Dallamlad]

I agree they need paint badly, could be done when the last scans arrive and stuff has settled down.

They might do the tridents after the fleet movements have finished, nobody knows whats going yet.
Probably why they are doing the lo-liners as some are very tatty.

Hopefully, and inside needs doing a bit of work on some

Some of them look really really tatty lol so glad they are getting done and the seats are getting done as well. Does someone have the full time job of doing up seats or do they do other stuff as well?

Also nobody knows what happening with the Leylands so far I think.

The trimmer works full-time, works on the buses that are in for service or M.O.T and is still doing the seats out of 22824.

Bloomin nora! Hopefully if 20127 is suitable for service it will go back into service soon but with all these B10 becoming free theres going to be a lot going spare!

 

[mbonwick]

20802 only went onto Disposals Period 11/12...though with all things, it would help is Merseyside make up their mind
A. do they want it back as a driver trainer (Sister 20801, also for disposal, has seen use as a trainer recently)
B. if not, who do they want to buy it?

 

[Pricey2701@gma]

Sorry if i missed this but what is the current situation with Preston bus who owns it now
