Why order 4 with leather seats then get the other 4 with coach-seats and no leathers and the U/S rear back seats are not facing each other??

Hopefully those Scans will turn up soon and things can settle down
Glasgow first job for two of them[/QUOTE]
What they going to be doing up there? Have they ordered 4 with coach seats on purpose? In fact do the 10 that went to Yorkshire have coach seats?
Also SC are running another bus from QES direct to Lancaster bus station for all the students who get off there. Yesterday students were turned away from buses home because they were full. It seems the sixth form have taken on far more students this year then last, maybe to much.

was on one of stagecoaches old step busses today from work it dident sound to healthy at all dont no number and speaking to a reays driver on park and ride bus he said they are going to put new stepless busses on 35 soon he said new saturday busses from workington and whitehaven to manchester and newcastle was doing well. seen a old step bus on 47 earlier suprise eh dont no which one it was
I suspect that's where the decker from the morning 556 has gone then...20219 doing the honours this morning. Pity really, capacity is a problem with a B10M on 556.

Lancaster operates the runs from QES to Lancaster as one of them is a service bus, one of the 80's so 81A/B I think.

Surprised, that my sister had not emailed me about it!, with her living on the outskirts of Torquay.

It would appear that the 10 Scanias Yorkshire have taken delivery of have high back seats so they have just done ME's the same. Either they thought it didn't matter or somebody has made a mistake in the ordering process!

22824 coming off the M6 this morning about 10ish, and one of Kendals bike rack carrying Dartds on what looked like the 50- north on the A6 and turned down Crag Bank lane?

What time did you see the dart? I could have been on a Dallam run or driver training for KL as some of the Dallam school routes run around Crag Bank.

It was in service as it stopped to pick up at the Royal Hotel in Bolton-le-Sands. I passed it there, didn't see the destination but it looked like 50 in my mirror....
It would have been about 9.00-9.30

Very strange, the 50 only runs to Carnforth then turns into the 5 that runs down the prom into Morecambe so could have been the 5 heading back to Carnforth but that would mean that ME are operating it which would be very odd indeed. Did you happen to see who it picked up? Normal passengers or kids in uniform? The only other thing I can think of is that a school bus failed somewhere on route and the dart was sent out to replace it. Very strange...

16733 on 30 and 31, on a different time slot to the usual decker slot. looked to be a B10M on 30 and 31 on the 1435 31, unless it was a late running B10M on 300.

No, couldn't see as it was in the layby by the time i passed it, i was coming up from Morecambe, and it passed through while i was waiting for the lights at Coasal Road- it came from the Lancaster/A6 direction, not from Hest Bank/Morecambe

20195 and 20919 were on Seaton this morning. 34079 replacing one of the B10M's this afternoon
All four Scania E400's in service today. Was on 15684 to Carlisle (displays not working at this morning) on 15685 coming back, no complains except getting to speed on the hills. Really good and smooth on the flats and down hill.
Rather busy coming back from carlisle when school kids from Netherhall got on for Flimby with many standees on the lower deck.

I reckon it was D5 either running very late or something had broken down somewhere. D1A was a single this afternoon so I reckon KL are having some issues what with them having no outdoor storage space due to roof repairs
22824 looks very nice and shiny there Jonesy, any idea whats going up next for repaint?
15697 looks good as well!

Great stuff wonder what they will start on when the MANs are done! I guess the 3 S reg Tridents we are keeping will go at some point
Yeah D5 would look like a 50 lol! Surprised its taken us all afternoon to figure it out haha
Also something I found interesting about some new coaches that have been delivered to Chesterfield for National express routes is that the new vehicles are fitted with "Alcolock" technology which means the driver has to blow into a tube before he can start the vehicle. If he has been drinking he can not start the vehicle!

Kendal seem to be just pushing stuff out in the order its parked in the garage atm (no surprise given their situation)
20456 on 556 this morning, even though the CCTV looks nice and shiny, it's a heap lol.
A very warm smelling 18357 coming back home again.
Expect long delays to 552/5/6 and probably 567 tomorrow, it's the Westmorland County Show

Don't know if its been mentioned on here but there are enough new deckers on the latest SC order to see off all the Leylands in the UK. So I'm hoping more Olys or LF deckers will turn up in the NW to replace our remaining Leylands!!!
