Stagecoach North West Discussion

[jonesy3001]

i wonder whats leaving ME then, B10`s or older lo-liners? But if the MAN`s stay they will be the only ones apart from 16666 that will need L.E.D blinds.

 

[mbonwick]

young Mr B

I'll take that as a compliment!

Jonesy - I'd speculate that Morecambe B10Bs are almost certs to go. Equally, from what I've heard, seems pretty likely that 4 MANs will go to Kendal to replace their M reg B10Ms.

That leaves 6 MANs to account for....

I think both. I reckon we will lose some MANs and the 4 B10B's.

 

[jonesy3001]

true i think might keep a couple of B10`s for ingletons

 

[Dallamlad]

I reckon we'll keep most of the B10s. Lose the B10Bs and maybe some B10s as well. It will all become clear very soon, hopefully when Gez is allowed to tell us lol

As some of you seem to be interested in elsewhere the new Shartson garage will be coded SH, the current holder Shafton is closing

24 for the North East ay? Interesting, given the routes they were intended for in South Shields have a PVR of 16. Wonder what the other 8 are for...

Sorry to hear that Shafton depot is closing, i used to like to visit this depot when in the Barnsley area.

47024 replaced 16734 on short 300).
47005 on Moorclose 50.
47007 on Moorclose 51.
20910 and 47060 on Seaton.
47061 and another 04 reg Solo on Harrington Circulars.
20436 on 30/31.
16124 on 48's. It was showing a variation of "Wkrkington 48".
14234 flying around Not in Service.


Just one thing I'm finding a little odd:

North Western Traffic Area, N&P, 04 Feb 2011: Bus Registration Cancellation
PRESTON BUS LTD, 221 DEEPDALE ROAD PRESTON PR1 6NY
Operating between Bus Station and Gamull Lane given service number 10/11/111 effective from 15-Mar-2011.

North Western Traffic Area, N&P, 04 Feb 2011: New Short Notice Bus Registration Application
RIBBLE MOTOR SERVICES LTD T/A STAGECOACH IN LANCASHIRE, STAGECOACH NORTH WEST, T/A RIBBLE MOTOR SERVICES, BROADACRE HOUSE, 16 - 20 LOWTHER STREET, CARLISLE CA3 8DA
From: Preston To: Gamull Lane Via: Name or No: 11 Service Type: Normal Stopping Effective Date: 15-Mar-2011 Other Details: Mon - Sun timetable identical to that formerly operated by Preston Bus Ltd.

So why are Stagecoach running it now, and have been for a short while now, when it doesn't take effect until 15th March????? The timetable is shown on both Stagecoach and Preston Bus websites.

[darrenw29]

20994 was on 1545 685 from Newcastle

Thats amazing!! Was in Egremont at 14:30 on 22

 

[andy 37]

20994 was on 1545 685 from Newcastle

Was it not 20904

 

[Dallamlad]

2 MANs sitting out of service at the Uni just now, one of which was 22827 which been there since about 4.45.

Seems the normal supervisor as the underpass is missing as he wasn't there yesterday (nobody was) and Gez has been there today with 40033.

18362 on 42
Saw the back end of 14196 leaving Uni at around 6, no idea what service it was running.
Front blind on 22809 looking very shabby. Some squares not showing up and its barely visible unless you are standing right in front of it as the lighting around the blind is poor and the dirt doesn't help. Sure it will be seen to soon.

 

[Mattdw92]

Was it not 20904

Neither ha it was 20944!
Posted it on my phone and maybe predictive altered it or my stupid cold fingers on a tiny touch screen!
Sorry for the confusion!

Was hardly ever going to be 20994, but it would be quite the journey on the 685 if it was possible!!!
I've never got onto it, but from what I've heard, its quite the B10M! Its just about finding it these days as it doesn't really fit in on a regular service (perhaps the 600 on a good day). Must try get onto it when back in West Cumbria

Shut between approx 0930 and 1530 daily, obviously to allow peak time movements to and from the city/university.

14196 was on 1751 2A Combermere, other MAN was 818, notice how smooth it was running today

 

[TheHovisKid]

How are the displays on the MANs at Morecambe illuminated? B10s looked like thay has a flourescent tube aling the full width, but some of the MANs seem to have a row of small blue lights- are they LEDs?
