Just I read a blog online, and the suggestion was that if Stagecoach were to sell Preston Bus to its employees, it would mean that they had sold it to someone who really wasn't capable of taking on Stagecoach. I personally thoguht it was a virtual certainty the employees would get it.

But, this is speculation. No official announcement on the winning bidder.

Maybe a good diea to speak more about PB in the thread I started, What if Preston Bus is sold and Goes Bust.

Gez, do you know how many Darts Merseyside are due?
Another question for you - what happened with the 1610 55A? Very unusual to see a B10M on there, especially with 16877 out of service on stand 16 next to it...[/QUOTE]

The inbound was running late, didn't know how late so, as I had a B10M spare i stuck that on it, as it turns out it wasn't that late but loading was well underway when it appeared on the radar

fully accessible Workington town services this afternoon! (taking into account 34079 doesn't have a wheelchair ramp, so isn't really properly accessible).

34218 on short 300.
20945 on 30 and 31. 34616 out on there as well.

16708 has reportedly surfaced at Kendal...on its way elsewhere, just for temporary storage, or a transfer?

Mmmmmm interesting...not sure why they would send it to KL for storage seeing as they have very little space as it is and its a bit of an odd place to stick it as half way point between Carlisle and somewhere else...we'll have to see!

16708 possibly at Kendal for repanel before repaint? they've repanelled a bus before, so could be they're doing it again! or maybe they're being allowed to refurb a bus!

All quiet on the western front tonight!!!

Only thing I noticed today was a MAN on the X1 and 22813 has had a new shiny panel fitted around its rear lights on the right side.
