looks like 16103 is a leyland replacement.

So it would seem! Do we reckon that be seeing 14195 off onto disposal or will it replace 14196/14208?

I've just been on 16877 and it was a very smooth ride so if 16103 is anything like it it should be good Just need 1 or 2 more N/Cs to go with em!

passed 14257 on my way home, wasn't too sure what it was on. Bright Tech is dead, and couldn't see any paper or boards.

20907 was my ride home

 

[07andrew]

Yes, I seen 20907 come into bus station and 14257 was my ride home.

Did you try uploading the blind i sent you? its the same file format as the ones i've used myself...

 

[Dallamlad]

Thought this may be of interest, especially the red solo SR with entrance doors on both sides.

Did they still have the old blinds? Shouldn't be long till something moves to LL from PR and 16651/52/53/54 move to CY.

Work is been carried out on Chapel Street today so services are having to go round the long way (down by the fore station round by Toast) to get to the bus station.

Something Ive never seen before, A Scania on 30 to Maryport passing Dunmail Park at 5:40 this morning

I might be on the CE operated 300 getting on at Dunmail Park.--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
by the way what file format did you use?

 

[rosswatson]

47024 has been fitted with a front led. side and rear flip dots still there, but blank.

The mind boggles. :roll:

Worth pointing out that 17017 is still VOR and awaiting a new engine. Must have been off for a month now?

 

[cainebj]

20962 has replaced 47062 on Moorclose 50. 47062 is now on 58's.

30/31 running randomly now. Thankfully the inspectors at the bus station had sense to send a MAN empty to Maryport to run back near to time, filling up the other MAN in going to Maryport at the same time.

20945 been doing catch ups.
Got 2 of my allocations wrong earlier. 47059 in Seaton, not Harrington. 47061 is Harrington, not Seaton.

47024's front LED just has "Harrington 46" on, rather than "Harrington Circular 46".


in Carlisle, 20959 was replaced on 685 by 52627 (i think). 20959 on 66's this afternoon.
47722 out on 69's. It might have went onto 66's after laying over at the bus station, but not sure.

 

[07andrew]

I seen 47005 coming up oxford street at 5.30 maybe just come off Maryport Circulars.

47024 suits its new led, 47023 will probably be next.
I was on 47024 going and coming back from town.

53336 on 1720, X5.
An UID 08reg solo on short 300.
And iv'e just found out about that scania being on 30 this morning.

You were right the first time, 47059 is on Harrington not Seaton. 47061 is on Seaton not Harrington.

 

[Mattdw92]

I don't think it was intentional, if it was you would have thought they would have done all three displays before it seen service. Plus I can't see them replacing all the flip-dot displays in the solo's. Nothing wrong with the flip-dots!

If Lillyhall still had scrolling display, yeah would be a good idea, but having LED's on alllll day and not changing like Moorclose Circular, Maryport Circular and now Harrington Circular (which the majority of the time they 'should' be doing!) wouldn't be very efficient and would cause the bulbs to burn out more than likely. I think 47024 has just had a unrepairable (or easier just to whack in an LED) display fail

 

[mbonwick]

Ta cainebj for the fleetcard.

I didn't realise we had so many B10Ms in reserve - I make it 22 P/R reg examples.
Just one question though - why are Kendal ditching P/R reg examples before their M regs?

Work is being carried out on Chapel Street all week.... should be completed by the end of the week.... so probably after Christmas. Something to do with gas and nothing AFAIK to do with beans...!

 

[mbonwick]

Could be wrong, but the last time I got the bus (Friday I think), there was gas people down a hole looking rather worried.

Guessing it's emergency works....

Been up for around a week now and the hole has got gradually bigger and bigger until Sunday they decided to shut the street!

This is being a right pain, taking upto 5-mins longer getting into the Bus Station!:-x

I say they were worried, they only found a factured gas main.

For the people who don't quite believe me when I say LL's Scania's badly need cleaned out inside. They've been like that for quite a while now... Bottom of the window frames are covered in crap as well. Those pictures are from on 15686, on the 0835 to Carlisle (0835 from Workington). 15683 was exactly the same when I came home on it...

Very festive!

Just seen 16657 on the X1 been driven by a white shirt! Very rare allocation, the last time I saw a decker on the X1 it was 14208! I'm guessing it'll run to the train station then double back into town cutting out the quay.
